Going on sale today at 4pm are the new top level domains known as the .me extension, originally designed because Montenegro became independent in June 2006 you can be sure to see a rush in domain sales over the next few days. The Montenegro government stated that due to the worldwide appeal the extension has they have decided to use the .me extension as a generic name so that everyone can benefit from it without suffering a loss when it comes to optimisation.

The whole process will be maintained by the LCN, the UK domain name registration company. The opportunity for trademarks to register their names began in May and so far there are has been more than 30,000 domains already registered and hundreds of auctions taking place to grab the remaining good names that are available.

When they are available to the general public the domains will be sold on a first come first server basis so if you have the intention to purchase one – you will have to act fast as domain brokering is becoming very popular due to its nature of being very profitable if done correctly.

The .me Registry’s executive director, Predrag Lesic stated that they are very excited to see the amount of interest in the new top level domain and can’t imagine the rush that will commence when they are available to the public.
