Why new domains from 123-reg will boost affiliate performances
123-reg is expanding its product base, offering commissions on all new gTLDs in one of the biggest shakeups in the internet in over 25 years. Great customer service and great value is the backbone of a great product so is this expansion what you have been waiting for?
Who is 123-reg and what has been the major development for you this year?
123-reg.co.uk is the UK’s largest domain registrar, registering over 3 million domains and hosting over 1.4 million websites. 123-reg believes that the internet should be for the many, not the few and accordingly, its product offerings support all extremes of technical ability.
It has been a very exciting start to 2014 for 123-reg and the domain industry as a whole. In February, the roll out of one of the biggest expansions in the domain market for over a quarter of a century began and will see over 1,400 new domain names for both businesses and individuals over the coming years.
So what has changed?
Where once web addresses were restricted to a handful of Top-Level Domains (TLD’s) like .com and .net, businesses and individuals will soon be able to choose from domains like .camera, .kitchen, careers and .menu. As well as industry specific domains, more personal domain names are launching including .xyz, .guru and .ceo.
What does this mean for affiliates?
For affiliates, this change will be highly positive because where once an affiliate was only able to offer a handful of domains, now as many as 1,400 for a range of personal and business interests will be available, with the benefits being:
1) An extensive number of new domains available
2) Regular emails from the 123-reg experts, helping to explain new gTLDs and ways to promote these new domains
3) Regular exclusive offers
