CentralNIC publishes some remarkable facts lately.
CentralNIC, who have been distributing subdomains of their own domains for 10 years now, added two more extentions to the portfolio lately which they hope can help them establish themselves as a main registrar within the Middle East domain market.
They also made reseller agreements with various registrars, and remarkably enough also with Sedo.
Last buy not least, CentralNIC saw an increase in .EU.COM registrations, as lot of people/companies apparently registered their name with both .EU and .EU.COM at the same time.
What do you all think of them?
I must say their extentions are very interesting. .UK.COM, .EU.COM, .US.COM, .CN.COM, etc have great potential.
Also, they've been around for 10 years without any difficulties, so we can safely conclude that their subdomain service is as reliable and stable as most ccTLD's.
What stops me however from registering, is the price. I think they're a bit on the expensive side. No matter how nice the extentions, they are and remain subdomains. If a .co.uk costs less than 5 GBP/year, then it makes no sense to charge 20 GBP/year for a .uk.com subdomain. Subdomains should IMO be cheaper than a real domain over which you've got full control.
