NetNation Offers Unique
Service to Help Clients Build Brands
VANCOUVER,
BC - December 13, 2000. NetNation Communications, Inc., (Nasdaq: NNCI), a
global, top-ranked web site hosting company, domain name registrar (DNR) and
application service provider (ASP), is pleased to announce that its
wholly-owned subsidiary, DomainPeople, Inc., an ICANN accredited registrar of
Internet domain names and member of Afilias LLC, entered into a strategic
alliance with TeleDomains.com, one of the premier online providers of custom
toll-free number services. The partnership provides the unique services of
TeleDomains.com to all DomainPeople clients through the domain name registrar’s
newly revamped web site (www.domainpeople.com).
DomainPeople clients can request and
reserve toll-free numbers that match their domain name through a quick process,
completed entirely online. For example, for the new domain name,
www.DPbrand.com, the Teledomain.com service would help clients establish a
toll-free telephone number such as 1.800.DPbrand, and/or a toll-free fax
number, 1.888.Dpbrand. The toll-free number would then ring to any existing
phone line chosen and aid in building brand recognition and retrieval for the
corporate name, DPbrand.
“This alliance enables DomainPeople to
offer yet another value-added service to our domain name clients, a service
that will not only help in branding and communication, but also aid our clients
in being closer to the top of the haystack among both online and offline
competition,” said NetNation CEO, Joseph Kibur.
“We expect many positive returns and
continued growth from this alliance with DomainPeople. Our creative team
develops appropriate toll-free numbers to match any business or personal name,
and then we offer a simple online sign-up process for the number. A premium
toll-free number is a very important component of any business,” said TeleDomains.com
President, Bernard Sonnenschein.
Through this partnership, DomainPeople
and TeleDomains.com will share in revenue streams from the initial sign-up
process and recurring revenue from the customer’s continued use. These unique
services are currently made available to domain name clients on the services
section of the DomainPeople web site. Future plans are to offer TeleDomain.com
services to new DomainPeople clients as part of their domain name registration
process.
