I would like to thank and introduce my newest sponsor, 101domain.com, and talk briefly about what they have to offer.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with 101domain.com, they are the industry leader in global domain registration – many corporations use them because they offer domain registration in over 200 countries and access to approximately 950 extensions, all of which can then be managed through their custom domain management system. For domain managers looking to establish, solidify and protect a worldwide brand, company name, or trademark, 101domain.com is the perfect answer. Unlike other registrars in the same market, they don’t charge fees for things like DNS or contact info changes, so you won’t be screwed when you need to change the information on a few hundred international domains all at once.

I’ve had a chance to talk to the people over at 101domain.com over the past few weeks, and I really think they have a good sense of how big the international domain market is becoming and are situating themselves well to continue to dominate that market, especially when it comes to major corporate clients, like GoDaddy, who already uses 101domain.com for their international domains. Also, considering the emphasis that ICANN and others are putting on IDNs this year, and it seems 101domain.com is in a great position. They have already developed a very useful tool for registering IDNs, which allows you to choose a language and extension and use a handy character keyboard instead of a character map or conversion tool to search for and register internationalized domain names.

So if you are interested in the international domain market, head over and check out 101domain.com, I think you’ll find like I did that they are the best option for that space.
