VeriSign launches campaign to celebrate 25 years of .com.
.Com registry VeriSign has launched a new campaign to celebrate 25 years of dot com domain names and the emergence of the web. The campaign — found online at 25YearsOf.com — will celebrate a number of the milestones and important individuals that have made .com what it is today.
As part of the program, VeriSign will sponsor a Policy Impact Forum in Washington D.C. on March 16. This forum will examine the disconnect between policy and technology, and how the former fails to keep pace with innovation in the latter.
On May 26, VeriSign will host a “25 Years of .Com” gala in San Francisco. The .Com 25 Awards, recognizing the people and companies who have made the most notable impact in shaping the internet, will be announced at the gala.
As the registry for .com, VeriSign earns $6.86 per .com domain name per year, or about nearly $600 million. This price will increase to $7.34 in July 2010.
