The .AM TLD launches on CentralNic’s Registry Gateway Service today, enabling registrars connected to the new EPP service to access the premier multimedia domain extension that counts will.i.am, cinemagr.am and infogr.am as key registrants.

“CentralNic is pleased to roll out yet another popular, generic two-character extension through our Registry Gateway Service. The .AM namespace has seen double digit growth over the past year and we look forward to building on that momentum by significantly expanding .AM’s global channel reach” said Ben Crawford, CEO of CentralNic.

The .AM TLD delivers a platform where standard and social media sites as well as streaming, traditional radio and mixed media brands can inform, entertain and inspire their audiences with multimedia content. Thousands of great names are available for anyone in the world to secure, including webc.am, sociogr.am, muso.am, entertain.am, content.am, punk.am, bands.am and thebest.am. .AM is also the country code for Armenia.

“We are pleased to grow our partnership with CentralNic, with a global network of 1,500 registrars and 100,000 resellers, this gateway migration will significantly increase the retail footprint of the .AM TLD into growing and emerging markets,” remarked George T. Bundy, Chairman & CEO of BRS Media Inc.

Registrars who have been accessing .AM directly through BRS Media will now connect via CentralNic’s Registry Gateway Service. Please contact CentralNic for further details.
