News Release
Pool.com poised for .ASIA Landrush
February 15, 2008 – Ottawa, Ontario, Canada – Pool.com, a leader in
domain name acquisition and secondary market sales, is pleased to announce the
ongoing success of .ASIA Sunrise domain auctions.
Auction prices have exceeded $20,000 US in early auction closures. The
popularity of the new .ASIA TLD bodes well for the upcoming Landrush period
scheduled to start on February 20 and close on March 12, 2008.
As DotAsia.org’s exclusive auction partner for .ASIA domain names, Pool.com is
providing their trusted technical and customer support along with a
full-featured auction platform for the efficient operation of a transparent
mass domain online bidding process.
“We are committed to providing a refreshing improvement to the Landrush process
of past TLD launches,” says Richard Schreier, Chief Executive Officer of
Pool.com. “Instead of a chaotic first-come, first-served approach, all
applications received within the .ASIA Landrush timeframe will be considered to
be received at the same time.”
Schreier adds that domain names with only one application will be awarded to the
applicant, while domains with more than one application within the Landrush
period will be awarded through Pool.com’s auction process. Anyone in the world
can apply for .ASIA names as long as one of the registration contacts resides
in the Asia/Pacific region.
“.ASIA names have limitless potential,” says Schreier. “With over 400 million
people online in the Asia/Pacific region, it’s the fastest-growing audience in
the world. Having a .ASIA domain gives businesses international presence within
an emerging community.”
During the Sunrise Periods for the launch of the TLD, .ASIA received over 30,000
domain name applications from more than 130 countries and economies worldwide.
Pool.com encourages consumers and domain investors alike to submit their domain
applications for the Landrush period through their
.ASIA accredited registrar of choice.
