Afternic.com Receives ICANN Registrar Accreditation.
2005-12-21, HostMan.biz Afternic.com, a recognized leader in the aftermarket domain name industry, today announced it has received acceptance to become a registrar by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the overseeing body for domain names. "Afternic.com long has been one of the central exchanges in the aftermarket purchase and sale of domain names -- it is, and remains, our core business," said Roger Collins, the company's president and chief executive officer. "We do not foresee that changing in any way and, in fact, believe our new status as ICANN-accredited registrar enhances that standing. Instead, Afternic.com's new designation formalizes our relationship with this all-important governing organization and will enable the company to participate actively -- and at the highest levels -- in key issues and oversight matters regarding the future of domain names." Collins indicated that his company's established track record in the domain-name aftermarket affords invaluable background and brings key advantages in its new standing as a registrar, specifically: -- Greater security standards that can reduce risk of credit card fraud -- of particular importance with regard to higher-value transactions; and -- Credibility and official stature to collaborate in future ICANN-sanctioned aftermarket domain-name service offerings. The Afternic.com president continued: "We are entering a pivotal period for registrars and purchasers of .com extensions. As ICANN presently re-evaluates renewing its contract with Verisign for maintaining the .com registry, the ultimate operating authority of domain names on the Internet, we watch closely. The outcome could have substantial impact on the future prices of domain names and other implications for the marketplace." |
