What’s in a name?
When I say “polo,” you’ll most likely think of the mint candy, the shirt, the car, or that aristocratic game played on horseback.
With the launch of the .EU domain space, therefore (launched on December, but will be open to the public in a month’s time from now), you’d expect a lot of companies to claim the polo.eu domain. Guess who was able to register first?
BBC reports on how Volkswagen was able to snag the polo.eu name.
NetNames said [Volkswagen, Nestle and Ralph Lauren] applied within five minutes of each other, and Ralph Lauren, owner of polo.com, missed out by only three minutes and 24 seconds.
Quick! Register your domain, before someone else does.
