The Somalian registry plans a relaunch of the so domain during the autumn of 2010. The .so-extension was already released in August 1997 but the registry decided to end registrations at the end of 1998 after a series of technical problems. However, now a relaunch of this extension has been announced. The relaunch would start with a sunrise during the autumn of 2010. During this sunrise, owners of a registered trademark will be given the chance to register the exact same name under the .so-extension. The sunrise will be followed by a landrush and the general availability.
At the moment, there’s no more information about exact data, prices or possible restrictions to register a .so domain name. Once we’ve received more info, we’ll keep you posted.
In fact the .so extension is the countrycode extension for Somalia but of course, it also offers a nice possibilty to register an original domain name. We’re already looking forward to the first who’ll register itis.so, famo.so or toldyou.so.
