The extension has great appeal both from the business and the individual point of view; this is why we know our core customer base will want to join the .Tel phenomenon. It is the best way for us to be part of this new trend and offer a new type of Internet presence and communication mean”.

September 9th 2008 – Following Europe and Asia, EuroDNS is now proud to bring the Latin-American market closer to Internet users worldwide through its new LatDNS service at www.LatDNS.com. Launched today at an unprecedented low price, the Internet extension from Mexico (.COM.MX), will soon be joined by 30 more from the Latin region. “Since its launch in 2002, EuroDNS has always aimed to offer its customers more and more choice to register Internet domain names in local markets” explains Xavier Buck, CEO of EuroDNS “Build upon the great success we have had with Asians which covers all the major TLDs in the region from .CN to .VN, LatDNS is a natural evolution of this strategy and we are delighted to start off with the popular .MX extension at the really affordable price of € 9”.

As companies and individuals are constantly looking into ways to promote their brands and services to local markets, it can be rather complex to deal with various geographical requirements and find a suitable supplier for each region. LatDNS continues EuroDNS’ tradition of facilitating domain name registrations for everyone everywhere, through a unified interface. Anyone can instantly check the availability of a string of character in more than 200 domain names extensions, making extremely easy to register mygoodname.com, mygoodname.asia and mygoodname.com.mx, in one go.

 “.MX is one of the many extensions that accepts registrations from companies and individuals all over the world without any local requirement” comments Jean-Christophe Vignes, Executive Vice-President and General Counsel at EuroDNS “as an Internet registrar that has always believed anyone should be able to promote its services or ideas to the population of their choice, we are quite proud to grant our customers, European or otherwise, access to the Mexican market”.  

While Brazil (.BR), Chile (.CL) and Venezuela (.VE) join Mexico (.MX) today, EuroDNS customers will get access to even more latin-american extensions over the next few months, all under the same ease-of-use “one stop shop” interface at www.LatDNS.com. As for Registries that still require local presence or specific documentation, EuroDNS will continue forming dedicated partnerships to ensure its customers get the opportunity to express themselves on the Internet, no matter where they are located.

Luxembourg 1^st September – EuroDNS, in partnership with Sedo, is glad to announce the launch of the newly created whois.de service (www.whois.de), a major platform to gather a wealth of information about Internet domain names including ownership lookup and availability for Registration. The service uses the data available from databases maintained by official Internet Registries (i.e : .DE, .Com, .Fr…) whose main purpose is to determine who is the owner of any given domain name. « Over the years Whois Services have been used more and more by a variety of Internet stakeholders, from domain name buyers to law enforcement officers » comments Xavier Buck, CEO of EuroDNS « by regrouping the data provided by more than 50+ Registries in one convenient interface, we will enable users to do much more than that ». Indeed, Whois.DE offers a lot more than just a domain owner lookup. Every query offers additional information, including availibity check for an identical name in more than fifty additional Top Level Domains. Additionaly, thanks to a partnership with SEDO, the leading Domain Name brokerage company, any query will show in realtime which of these domains are available for acquisition in the aftermarket. The flexible Whois.DE interface will bring a consistent interface to any user, whether it wishes to buy the domain from a third-party through SEDO’s service or, if available, register it directly thanks to EuroDNS one-click backend. Because privacy issues have often been an issue regarding Whois data, limits have been setup to try and avoid data-mining using the service « Not only do we follow privacy requirements from all Top Level Domains for which the Service is available, we exceed them, to ensure that Whois.de is used for the absolute benefit of Internet users » stresses Jean-Christophe Vignes, EVP & General Counsel of EuroDNS.   Whois.de also displays extended information on the web site linked to the domain name, including its webhost, its Alexa ranking, links that points to the site, the site’s history. Xavier adds, “These are just the first set of data that we want to offer to the Internet community. More features will be added soon such as aftermarket « close match » results for the aftermarket, and keyword competition analysis. Whois.de will evolve in the most powerfull tool to know everything about domain names, where ownership will only be one of the many information available to everyone.
 
Xavier comments, “whois.de is truly a search tool, free of charge with no obligations of identification and information sharing”.
