United Internet holding marketplace share from GoDaddy in new TLDs - After slow start, company is grabbing share in recent TLD launches.

Other registrars are also offering some version of paid offering now, and more will begin to do so as the domains are actually delegated. 11, which has been running TV ... read more ...
