Web.com and Name Intelligence
Partner to Provide Additional Value to Domain Name Customers
[February 11, 2004]
BROOKFIELD, Connecticut, February 11,
2004 —Web.com, a Web services provider specializing
in hosting and domain names, announced today that they
have formed a strategic partnership with Name Intelligence,
Inc., a leading domain technology and information company.
The partnership allows Web.com to extend its reach to
a broader market, and enables Name Intelligence to provide
additional services and information to visitors of its
multiple Web sites, including www.DailyChanges.com and
www.Whois.sc.
Will Pemble, CEO of Web.com said, “Every
company that's serious about the Domain Name business
does business with Name Intelligence. Simply put, they
provide insight that you can’t get anywhere else.
We’re excited to partner with an organization
of this caliber and believe our strategic alliance will
help fulfill our mutual goal of providing the highest
quality Web services and information via the Internet.”
Among the key aspects of the partnership,
Name Intelligence will add ".web.com" domain
names to its comprehensive domain name search engine,
Whois Source. Whois Source enables users to quickly
and efficiently find all active, inactive and available
names for the .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, and .us
top level domains. Whois Source will now also include
results for the “.web.com” extension. Additionally,
Name Intelligence will include .web.com activity on
its DailyChanges.com site, which provides a complete
record of every DNS (domain name service) change on
the Internet. The site will track which .web.com names
have been added, deleted and transferred on a daily
basis.
Name Intelligence will also power domain name lookup
results for Web.com’s domain name reseller program.
This will allow all of Web.com’s resellers access
to industry standard technology—the same technology
that powers the biggest players in the field—
for checking domain name results and alternatives.
“Web.com fills an important need through its .web.com
domain registry,” said Name Intelligence CEO Jay
Westerdal. “We believe the availability of short,
easy-to-remember names in the .web.com space will make
a meaningful contribution to both Internet companies
and consumers.”
