.CO Domains Avaliable To All Resellers

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

eNom Offers Resellers Instant Access to .CO Domain Names at a Low Price of $25.

You can only get .CO domain names by doing the following, depending on the nature of the names they are interested in purchasing. First, premium names can be bid on through the company’s exclusive partnership with auction site NameJet. Second, personalized .CO names can be registered through the standard process at eNom, where customers have access to competitive .CO domain name registry pricing of just $25 per domain, with no limit to the number of .CO domains a single customer can register.

“Not only are we pleased to be selected as one of the exclusive registrars of the .CO domain name, but we’re also excited to announce this unique opportunity for our resellers at HostingCon,” said Chris Sheridan, vice president of Sales for eNom, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Demand Media™. “The availability of the .CO TLD through eNom demonstrates our ongoing commitment to expand our domain offerings so that resellers can get the names they want at an affordable price.”

“The .CO domain has emerged from its sunrise and landrush phases as a truly global, recognizable and credible domain that caters to the needs of major companies, entrepreneurs and individuals,” said Juan Diego Calle, CEO of .CO Internet S.A.S., the registry operator for the .CO TLD. “The launch of the .CO domain certainly would not have been as great a success without our partnership with eNom and its network of trusted reseller partners.”

HostingCon 2010: Cloud Storage Adoption, with Mezeo

Monday, July 19th, 2010

Steve Lesem gave a great presentation on “Cloud Storage Adoption: Public, Private, Enterprise, and Service Providers”.  The presentation talked about the different ways companies can use cloud storage technology to meet the needs of their customers.  Here are the main points about cloud storage:

  • How economics alone isn’t necessarily what will drive the technology of cloud storage.
  • Reasons why the marketplace is adopting cloud storage, such as tagging and searching capabilities, file sharing and collaboration, and the fact that it has a service oriented architecture.
  • The main part of the whole speech was the “cloud storage maturity model”, which is based on actual cloud storage adoption processes in the industry.
  • The market is in currently level 2, where there is a separation of public and private clouds.
  • He said that the industry is expected to be in level 2 for quite a few years before moving onto level 3, where hybrid clouds will run see the interaction between public and private clouds.
