Important - Pre-registration Billing

For Landrush and GoLive, on June 14, 2010 and July 12, 2010 respectively, HEXONET will attempt to withdraw the total cost of all your .CO Pre-registrations from your reseller account. This deduction is only to reserve funds in case all your Pre-registrations are successful. Reserved funds will be returned back to your account if any Pre-registrations are not successful or if you delete a Pre-registration 24 hours prior to the respective Landrush or GoLive launch date.

Please note, that for GoLive only, 24 hours prior to the actual launch, HEXONET will stop accepting Pre-registrations. Additional domain requests will be queued up and submitted to the registry once our main batch-queue has been submitted successfully. As always, if any Pre-registrations should fail, refunds will automatically be applied to your reseller account.

What makes .CO such a unique opportunity ?

.CO offers individuals and organizations exciting new options in branding their online presence. Research has shown that .CO is immediately recognizable by registrants around the world to mean "company", "corporation" and/or other types of commercial ventures. In addition to being a platform for commerce, .CO is also the perfect home for today's socially networked individuals and entrepreneurs who may want to create COmmunities, share COntent, and COnnect, COmmunicate and COllaborate with friends, families, clients, and the public at large.
