PRESS RELEASE

Web Hosting & Domain Registration company, Daily.co.uk today announced their launch for pre-orders of the hotly anticipated .XXX domain names.

The .XXX extension, aimed at professionals within the adult entertainment industry, is arguably one of the most significant new web suffixes since .com was launched back in 1985.

‘This is big news for the Domain industry and, many would say, has far reaching implications for the web as a whole' says Daily.co.uk MD Abby Hardoon.  ‘Although many may find pornography on the web distasteful, it remains a part of the Internet industry and the founding idea of the .XXX suffix was to try and group together all of the adult websites under this new extension and thus help control access to these websites more easily. Unfortunately today, pornographic material can be set up on any domain suffix (.com, .net etc) and it's not uncommon that a simple typing error may mean ending up on a pornographic website by mistake.'

Reservation Phases Explained

.XXX domains are to be rolled out through several ‘pre-registration' and reservation phases starting for Daily, with pre-ordering now available on Daily.co.uk.

The preliminary Sunrise reservation phase, starting in September 2011 and lasting 30 days, will be open to trademark holders, i.e. trademark holders that meet membership requirements of the XXX community, trademark holders not in the XXX community who wish to protect their trademarks (blocking www.theirname.xxx) and also owners of existing pornographic websites recognised by the IANA.

The ‘Landrush' reservation, scheduled for Oct/Nov, 2011, will then allow any member of the XXX community to register any other domain.

General release will begin in December, 2011. Prices from Daily.co.uk will range from £49.99pa to £199.99pa depending on the phase of purchase.
