Premium Names Should "Click" with People and Businesses

With the popularity of the Internet growing at a record pace, you might need a little extra help securing an ideal domain name that's memorable or relevant for your Web site. That's why GoDaddy.com, the world's leading domain name registrar, is offering people and businesses a new way to access a large variety of "premium" domain names.
 
"We know how important it is to have the right domain name," says Go Daddy President and Chief Operating Officer Warren Adelman. "A fun, catchy or even a geographically specific domain name can have a major impact on how much business you generate. People are just more likely to type in certain names while searching the Web."

Now, when customers go to GoDaddy.com and type in a domain name to find out if that name or something similar is available, they'll also see a list of related, premium domain names that might be a great fit for their businesses. The new "Premium Domain Name" option, which offers domains for resale, was created after Go Daddy worked with the registrants for some of the best domain names on the Web.

"This new option allows people who go to GoDaddy.com the chance to find exactly what they want in a place where they are already looking for domain names," says Adelman. "The system also allows newly obtained premium domain names to be seamlessly and immediately transferred to the new owners with little or no effort."

Because many of the new premium domain names have more commercial value than other domain names, their rights sell for higher prices. You can also register countless names currently available and yet unregistered for less than $10 per year at GoDaddy.com.

Computer users recently voted Go Daddy as the best registrar in the business, for the second year in a row, according to industry news source Domain Name Wire. Go Daddy ranks as the most popular registrar, with more than 4 million customers and more than 22 million domain names registered.
