NEW YORK, July 12, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- .Co Internet, the .Co Domain Name Registry, today released 1500 domain names that failed to meet the Sunrise trademark stage of the .CO domain launch.
Available from 18:00 UTC today, Domainmonster.com are listing the domains at http://www.domainmonster.com/domains/co/co-domains-released/. The list includes a vast number of premium domains such as alice.co, alabama.co, blond.co, central.co, face.co, flat.co, garage.co and tourist.co, all now available to order on a first come first served basis from today.
Protecting the world's trademark holders with industry firsts for Intellectual Property procedures at a domain launch, the .CO registry originally opened the Sunrise stage on 1st April this year. Electing global consulting firm Deloitte to ratify applications that trademark holders made for their domains, they've now concluded their processing and this list represents the names that failed validation as legitimate trademark applications.
This is now officially the fastest selling domain launch we've ever seen; a pretty impressive feat when you consider we sold more domains at launch than anyone else worldwide in recent years, commented Matt Mansell, CEO, Domainmonster.com. As with this entire domain launch, the .Co Registry has raised the bar again, validating Sunrise applications at lightning speed, allowing release of failed applications in time for Landrush or General Availability, continued Mansell.
Domainmonster.com is accepting Landrush orders now, entirely live at Domainmonster.com. The first of two public stages, Landrush is the premium stage open to the general public before the registry opens its doors completely for General Availability at 18:00 UTC on the 20th July 2010. Domainmonster is also taking pre-orders on a completely no-win-no-fee basis for the final General Availability stage.
