So, “dot co” is the new black, or the new “dot com”. Looking at the overcrowded “.com TLD”, it is easy to come to this conclusion, the new .co TLD brings a refreshing air to the domains arena and brings new opportunities to companies and startups alike to find normal domain names for their new ventures.

After many years of growing numbers for the dot com domains and few possibilities for new companies, the .co domains open the doors for anyone to buy domains with an additional advantage, you save one letter on your domain. And taking into account the additional benefits of “co” meaning COmpany, COrporation, COoperative, etc. It is very easy to see why this is going to be a welcomed change to many companies.

The “Landrush” phase is well under way, and probably many common words are being registered as .co domains, going through the auction format, winners will be available soon.

And the general public availability to buy .co domains will be open July 20th, 2010.

We will keep you posted!
