Verisign Acquires Dot Name

Posted on October 5th, 2008 by admin in Domain News | No Comments »

According to TechCrunch Verisign has acquired the UK based company that runs the .name top level domain name. The news has not yet been formally announced but Verisign has sent out an email to all registrars with the news:

We are pleased to announce that VeriSign closed on an agreement to acquire Global Name Registry, Ltd., which includes management of the .name top level domain on October 1, 2008. We believe the addition of .name is a natural fit, as we have run the technical backend in support of .name for more than five years.

What does this mean for existing registrars?

Your interface to VeriSign for .name domain names will continue to operate as it has in the past with no changes.

We are currently assessing enhancements to the service offering that meet the needs of the registrar channel in servicing the consumer market. Please look for service notices in the coming weeks that will outline those changes and the steps you need to take advantage of those features.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Customer Service at info@verisign-grs.com.

Very truly yours,

PJ Bolanos
Vice President, Global Customer Support
VeriSign, Inc.

Incidentally, Verisign also runs the .com, .net and .org tlds amongst others.
