”2012 is a great year for dot-ME. Our previous premium domain auction in January went very well, said Predrag Lesic, CEO of the .ME Registry.“ Our registrations are climbing and we have gained some great partners who are proud to use their short, memorable .ME domain names.”

Since the 2008 launch, .ME domain names have become one of the main alternatives to a .com domain name, as well as a unique way to promote business or personal brand. Sedo.com’s 2011 Annual Domain Market Study shows that .ME Domain extensions are in the top 10 most frequently sold TLDs.

.ME domain names allow users to create a personalized online identity, which is as important on the Internet as a good personality is when you meet someone face-to-face. Whether you are planning to share a blog, photo-album, splash page or promote your business, a .ME domain name allows you to claim your personal corner of the Internet.

“Dot-ME domain names are valuable because they are short, memorable and personal. Regardless of what you do with a dot-ME domain name, everyone knows you are the one who is doing it,” said Lesic.

If you’ve never bid in a domain auction, this is the perfect time to start. As a .ME domain name user you are in the company of thousands of people worldwide who use a personalized domain to tell the world what they are about. Social media companies Facebook and Delicious are among the innovators utilizing .ME domain names to provide their users a more unique Internet experience.
