"The .ME registry open registration ushers in a new era of personalization on the Internet," said Predrag Lesic, the registry's executive director. "We were excited to see the innovative and catchy new me-domains that were registered during Landrush and now this brand new top level domain is open to anyone on a first-come, first-served basis."
The registration process for .me-domains began in May when the Sunrise period for trademark holders began. Landrush for the general public to register me-domains names in June. In total more than 30,000 domains have already been registered and auctions for competing applications are now taking place.
With open registrations, new me-domains registered will go live within minutes enabling anyone in the world to launch a site that is all about them immediately.
"The registry also expects to soon release its plan for auctioning many premium names that would serve as good new business or marketing ventures, including Love.me, Buy.me, and Date.me," said Lesic.
