LONDON, May 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CentralNic
Group PLC (AIM: CNIC), the fastest-growing company in the domain
name industry, with over 45 million domains using its platforms,
has been awarded a project by Dot London Domains Limited, a
subsidiary of London &
Partners, the business growth and destination agency for
London. London & Partners operates the
.London top-level domain (TLD) and
reinvests profits into creating additional economic growth for
London.
This new win is yet another addition to CentralNic Registry's
ever-expanding geographic top-level domain (GeoTLD) portfolio, as
it takes a foothold in this area of the market.
London was one of the first
cities in the world to get its own official TLD name, .London. Through owning and using a
.London domain name, organisations
and individuals can give their websites the "power of London" that will boost their profile through
a closer and clear association with the city's brand and
reputation.
Dot London Domains Limited's contract with CentralNic is for the
supply of technical registry services that underpin the
infrastructure of .London and
supports its growth and sustainability through marketing programmes
and initiatives that drive adoption and use of this sought-after
top level domain.
Gavin Brown, head of CentralNic's
Registry Services said: "CentralNic's sophisticated solution for
domain registry management has once again demonstrated its
industry-leading qualities and we are thrilled to have been awarded
this contract for .London by Dot
London Domains Limited. Being a London-headquartered company ourselves makes
this project all the more important for us and we are looking
forward to working with the .London team and playing a vital role in
helping to reinforce London's
cultural and iconic status online."
Rose Wangen-Jones, Managing
Director Marketing and Destination at London & Partners said: "CentralNic
Registry impressed us with their strong technical capabilities and
data skills. In order to mitigate as many of the associated
challenges as possible, choosing a partner with expertise in domain
migration not only from a technical aspect but also an operational
one too, was extremely important to us, and CentralNic Registry
leads the field in that respect.
CentralNic Registry's ability to provide a fully integrated
service was also key. CentralNic Registry has been providing
marketing support for GeoTLDs from the beginning and we're looking
forward to tapping into their knowledge to really drive awareness
of the .London TLD.
CentralNic's comprehensive service offering, clear understanding
of our requirements and proven stability spanning over 20 years has
made them the perfect choice to be the backend service provider for
our TLD."
