Global registration for .ME domains is imminent.

The emergence of the ".ME" domain name has added a lot to the already hot domain name market. Even though the ".ME" domain name has not yet opened for registration, the media's attention on it continues to grow. According to foreign media reports, ICANN will launch personalized domain name registration services next year. It seems that another fierce competition is inevitable.

The global official registration for ".ME" domains will open at 23:00 Beijing time on July 17, 2008. At that time, anyone can register on a first-come, first-served basis. The word "ME" happens to be the same as the objective pronoun for "I" in English, so all registrars have launched large-scale promotional activities, further promoting the popularity of ".ME" domains.

Will the introduction of the ".ME" domain bring opportunities to domain investors? Perhaps a wave of domain grabbing is about to begin. Many domain registrars also see this as a golden opportunity, such as the ".ME Domain Pre-registration" service launched by China Wanwang.

It is understood that to facilitate domestic users' registration, Wanwang launched a "pre-registration" service before the official registration opens. From now until July 16th, you can submit your .me domain pre-registration. The information submitted will be saved by Wanwang, and once the official registration opens, we will submit your registration information to the international registrar as soon as possible! The registration fee for ".ME" domains is 320 yuan/year, with a minimum initial registration period of two years.

In my memory, every time a new domain suffix is introduced, the domain market becomes turbulent again. A large number of domain grabbing incidents emerge during this time, leading to well-known companies being publicly auctioned online. I would like to remind everyone to register and protect your online brand, and pay more attention to the domain market.
