SIDN to handle technical realisation of .amsterdam

News 08-05-2012

Publishing house HUB Uitgevers has appointed SIDN, to undertake technical realisation of the new top-level internet domain (TLD) .amsterdam. Amsterdam’s municipal authority asked HUB Uitgevers to operate the Dutch capital’s TLD after careful market research. The expectation is that the new TLD will come on line in 2013. Pre-registration is possible at puntamsterdam.nl and dotamsterdam.nl from 7 May.

Roelof Meijer, SIDN’s CEO said, “Naturally we are very pleased that Amsterdam and HUB have chosen SIDN to handle the technical realisation of .amsterdam. With nearly five million registered .nl domain names, we have vast experience with all aspects of domain nameregistration. We expect new TLDs such as .amsterdam to change the internet landscape. Clearly, therefore, we want to be involved in this development.”
