SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwired) — 04/28/15 — , a leading new gTLD registry, today announced the launch of .tech — an exciting new domain extension for the tech industry. Radix will open at this year–s .
Through the .tech Founders Program, Radix will recognize select leaders from the tech industry to provide them special access and pricing to highly valuable Premium and Reserved names. Founders will be featured in .tech marketing campaigns, events and PR. With Radix–s .tech Membership Program, Radix aims to enable the .tech community with more than just a domain; members will receive discounts on products and/or services, access to industry-leading tech and startup conferences, invitations to networking events, and more.
1.35M+ technology startups, 18.2M+ developers, 200K tech establishments and thousands of technology evangelists, bloggers and universities will now have the ability to register shorter, memorable website addresses ending with .tech and get a meaningful domain that best defines their business.
At a time when it is either difficult or highly expensive to obtain a first choice domain — 65 percent of consumers don–t get the name they–re looking for and 32 percent had to rename their product due to domain unavailability in the depleting pool of names in domain extensions like .com, .net and .org — the availability of .tech namespace will change the way companies and individuals build their online brand.
“We are delighted to add .tech to our TLD portfolio. This new extension will represent the ever growing community of users who truly understand the power of the Internet and appreciate the value of a powerful identity online. As a techie at heart, this is an extension that I can personally relate and connect with the most,” says Bhavin Turakhia, CEO of Radix.
Following the Sunrise phase from May 25 to July 24, which is exclusively for trademark holders, the Early Access Program from July 29 to August 4 gives priority access to .tech registrations at an additional fee before they become available to everyone on a first-come, first-serve basis from August 5. Users can pre-register now at .
Radix will be exhibiting at the Collision Conference on May 5-6, 2015 in Downtown Las Vegas.
Radix (Radix FZC) is an active participant in ICANN–s process to expand the internet naming system and introduce new, meaningful internet addresses. The company has invested over $30 Million in securing licenses to operate new extensions and expects to play a large role in the global diversification of the internet namespace. Radix has successfully launched .press, .host, .website and .space and will soon be launching .site and .online.
