NEW YORK, July 31 /PRNewswire/ --     The .cm domain name (http://www.domainmonster.com/domain-name/cm/ )
registry have today announced their postponement of the public first come
first served launch for the .cm domain name, originally due at 00:00 UTC
tomorrow.

Unrelated to the widely reported cable fault affecting Internet access in
West Africa at present, the .cm registry have cited technical difficulties
with their root name servers. The .cm registry have currently postponed the
launch until further notice, although it's anticipated to be re-scheduled to
00:00 UTC on Tuesday 4th August 2009.

"We are extremely pleased that the registry are dealing with the matter
so thoroughly and have taken the sensible decision to postpone", said Matt
Mansell, CEO, Domainmonster.com. "The Landrush period is now closed and this
is the final public open registration stage where domain buyers can secure
their .cm domains (http://www.domainmonster.com/domains/cm/ ) on a first come
first served basis. We've seen unusually high pre-order levels for Open
Registration, so the postponement will give purchasers a little extra time",
continued Mansell.

Popular due to the Direct Navigation(1) said to account for 1 in 6
visitors to a web site, .cm is an incredibly close spelling to .com, the
world's largest top level domain. Brand owners and consumers alike are keen
to protect traffic that directly navigates to their site; traffic reputed to
convert at twice that delivered via a search engine

Pre-orders placed with Domainmonster.com will be held over to the revised
launch date and users do not need to contact Domainmonster.com to ensure
their submission is safe.
