Afilias and NeuLevel, the two appointed registries for the new
.info and .biz top level domain names, have announced that
deadlines for applications for domain names have been extended in
light of the recent terrorist attacks in the US.
Deadlines for both .info and .biz names have been extended until
21st September.
Doug Armentrout, CEO of NeuLevel said:
"We understand that because of last week's
tragic events, many businesses were focused on the more pressing
and immediate needs of their companies and employees and may have
been unaware of the deadline or unable to submit their
applications…This extension is intended to give businesses the
extra time they might need to file their domain name applications
in these extraordinary circumstances."
