In case there is more than one application per domain, the domain will go into an auction system that will be held shortly after the end of the Landrush period. The price for each domain name application will be USD 400, including a two years term.
The Go Live will begin on August 27, 2009. At this point .CM domains can be registered on a first come, first served basis. The minimum registration term is 1 year and the price will be announced soon.
The .CM Domain Registry announced the postponement of the public first come first served launch for the .CM domain name, originally due at August 1 .
Unrelated to the widely reported cable fault affecting Internet access in West Africa at present, the .CM Registry cited technical difficulties with their root name servers. The .CM Registry has currently postponed the launch until further notice.
This Tuesday, August 4 2009, starts the Go Live phase of .CM registration opening.
Registering a .CM helps you protect your name as it is considered to be a type of the .COM: when typing a .COM domain name people often forget to type in the .CM, which can cause a loss of traffic and also lead to a misleading use of the name if you are not the owner of the corresponding .CM name.
.CM is the country code top level domain (ccTLD) for the Republic of Cameroon. It is a significant extension as it covers the Central African region, which does not usually provide many domain names, so registering a .CM is also an opportunity to expand your portfolio in Africa.
Starting on August 4, 2009, .CM domains can be registered on a first come, first served basis. The registration cost will be USD 110 and the minimum registration term 1 year.
