The Domain is Just the Start

With the domains industry commoditized, AITDomains (www.aitdomains.com/?news-services) has spent the year developing a series of additional services that add value to an Internet staple.  

Since the beginning of summer, AITDomains.com has: 
·         Enacted a domain auction service with nearly 500 domains up for bids in less than a month
·         Added more than 1,500 customers to its bulk registration program through pricing of $6.49 per domain year
·         Developed a protected e-mail service with built in spam and virus protection
·         Instituted a premium notification service so customers can avoid the hassle of  redemption and restoration by getting phone call reminders of expiration dates
·         Coupled new registrations with hosting for less than $25 per year

“And that doesn’t include the free features that come with each registration, transfer, or renewal,” said James Steger, AITDomains.com Product Manager. 

“There has been an explosion of new domains going online in recent months, and expanding the product line beyond the registration process is necessary for staying competitive.” According to Netcraft, nearly 18-million new websites appeared on the Internet last year, the highest single year total in 5 years.  The majority of those are for late-adopting small businesses, many of whom are simply establishing a digital presence with single page sites.

There is also a thriving domains aftermarket, a key factor in the development of AITDomains.com’s auction service.  “With some 75-million sites online worldwide, the auction service is a good way of either securing a good domain name or capitalizing on someone else’s need for that,” said Steger.  There are no listing charges and no money changes hands until a sale is completed; the registrar’s commission based on the size of the transaction.  AITDomains.com also has a private-labeled virtual registrar program with a $1 enrollment fee, domains management tool, whois service, free parking, and DNS management.

AITDomains.com provides domain name registration services for the major top level domains.  One of the first registrars to receive full certification by ICANN, AITDomains supports some of the world's leading hosting companies, Internet Service Providers, and portal sites. The company is located in Fayetteville, North Carolina and can be reached toll-free at 1-877-549-2881 or through its web site at http://aitdomains.com.
