You may remember my infamous “A New Domain King Is Born” blog post that made some people laughed so much, they nearly lost their rice crispies.

Don’t hold your breath, there is nothing to laugh about this time .

I have now registered eBD.me, my first .Me domain name.

So what will I do with eBD.me? That will remain a mystery for now, but it will play a key role in building our brand as we develop our domain strategies. For now, simply treat it as a shortcut to our domain marketplace.

Instead of typing www.ebusinessdomains.com, simply type ebd.me in your browser and you are ready to do business!

.ME is an Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) that has been assigned to Montenegro.

The .me registry is operated by doMEn, which won a contract to do so after a bid process conducted by the government of Montenegro.

May 6th, 2008 – .me Registry – General Sunrise began for all eligible Trademark holders anywhere in the world.

On July 16, 2008, registration was made available for all .me domains at various registrars.

05.08.2008 .ME domain crosses 100,000 milestone.

According to Domain.ME, the .ME domain TLD “has incredible potential for Internet users world-wide. Think about it, with a .ME domain, the Internet will, quite simply, be all about YOU. For the first time in Internet history, domain names are essentially personal.”

.ME is expected to be utilized as both a personal web address, especially for bloggers, and as a creative marketing tool around the world.

The .ME TLD may just be popular in English-speaking territories though.

Some “premium” names – including verb-oriented domains, such as “Contact.ME,” “Drive.ME” or “Fly.ME,” – will be held back for auction after Open Registration.
