.ME Domains Open Registration Goes Live Today: Don’t miss out!
The much anticipated launch of the .ME domain is here. Public registration for all .ME domains begins today!
Official opening time is 11AM EDT / 8AM PDT.
.ME Goes Live Today, Register Yours at GoDaddy!
GoDaddy.com announced in a press release in January that they won the bid to manage the new .ME ccTLD.
Over 30,000 .ME domains have been pre-registered and several thousand more have been reserved (full list) by doMEn to be auctioned off at a later date. However, that is a small number of possibilities for words and phrases to work well with the .ME extension!
Get in Early for Some Great Name Opportunities
Make a list of names that you think would sound great with a .ME extension. Think local or GEO names and personal services, blogs, videos, maps and apps.
Prices are expected to be $19.99/yr with a minimum 2 year registration. Though they could be lower at GoDaddy with discount coupon codes.
Insight into the Value of .ME
- Will not be restricted, anyone in the world can claim one.
- GoDaddy will use its marketing muscle to globally promote it.
- Many languages contain the word “me” with various catchy meanings.
- Huge branding potential for English speaking countries.
- All registrars will be invited to resell the .ME extension.

What is .ME suppose to be for? .BIZ is business, .com is technically for companies… but what is .ME, personal pages?

Rayven, I think that .ME is domain of country (like .RU, .US, .CN, .UA, .IN etc).

Definitely not a fan of GoDaddy, but they do have some really nice prices on domains (and nice coupons). I’m not sure how well .me will fair, but this looks like a steal for those who want to own their own name.

Thanks, I really don’t know about it.
Hope mine hasn’t been registered yet.
Thanks

ME - is it “me” as in “about me” or is it regional as in “Middle East”?

Will .me rank as well as the three top TLD’s? (.com, .org, .net).

mike,
No. it’s not a TLD. The point is I really don’t understand how people catch 2 and 3 chars when a new domain published..

.ME domains are fabulous because it gives new marketing potential. Examples: call.me, f**k.me, and so on.
Do you see my point?

Guys,
.ME is an Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) that has been assigned to Montenegro country.
The same as we have used .TV for television although .tv is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the island nation of Tuvalu.
Another point is that .COM is a gTLD (Generic TLD) that goes for Commercial and not companies.

I’m sure most of the verb.me names have already been claimed. There’s really no other use for .me. It’s unfortunate that all these additional TLDs aren’t really becoming mainstream.

yeah, I though to move my blog from http://incomebooster.org/
to something like income boost. me ect, but it’s useless

These are quite the popular extensions at this point. I am curious to see how popular they will be in a few years time. I personally bought one just to see how they play out in the long run.
