Register .CM Domain Names

If you are a domainer and make a living on it then you will probably appreciate the news that I’m about to share. Techcrunch is reporting that, one of the most talked about domain extension – yourname.cm is now available for pre order until end of this month (31st July).

Whats so cool about .CM extension? Well apparently many people when typing in a regular url often mistype .com as .cm (leaving out the “o” in the middle). And any typical domain cybersquatter will know what this means! Millions of people are mistyping .com and if you own some of the major branded domain names with the .CM extension then you can really make a fortune out of it by plainly serving ads on those pages or free traffic by redirecting them to your primary domain.

I personally don’t think buying existing branded .CM version of the domains for traffic is a good idea. As after some time those big brands will come after you with lawsuits and you will eventually have to giveaway your domain name. However it might be perfect for you if you are looking for a very brand able domain name for your new start up or web project

However if there is more than one bidder then there is going to be a closed auction via email and the highest bidder will get hold of the domain. Domains sold via auction will be charged an additional fee of $350.

What is .CM? Why should I register a .CM?
.CM is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Cameroon.

• Secure natural traffic to your site
• Expand your domain portfolio with available and highly valuable domains
• Protect your brand to avoid any misleading uses of your name
• Help battle poverty in Africa – each domain sold will contribute to multiple initiatives to grow the African market and end poverty
