From May 1 to July 31, 2009, registrants of .com.mx domains will be able to register a .mx extension during this preregistration period. In case of duplicate preregistrations of the same .mx domain, favor will be given to the domain that corresponds to the .mx version with the oldest registration date. The cost of the registration is announced as a promotion of $15 US.

According to the email sent to all .com.mx registrants, you can preregister more than one domain in the .mx as long as you have at least one .com.mx registration.

Domain parking has its place. However, a domainer should not look to parking as the sole end and unique source of their revenue. Domain parking companies merely offer a replacement, or alternative, to the generic parked page that domain registrars normally put up until you set up hosting. Instead of the ppc revenue going all to the registrar, the parking service shares it with you.

What does this mean? Domain parking is only a means to an end. The end is a sale, ad revenue, or your own online business. All mean revenue, profit, and cash flow. Until you set up hosting and upload the index.html file, parking makes sense. If you can flip the domain quickly for significant profit, good for you. However, this isn’t always possible, even in traditional real estate, unless you invest in development. If you can’t sell quickly for real profit then you must look at all the options available. Domain parking is not the only option.

Over the last few years we have had many business dealings with domainers, mostly in regard to Domainer Script sales and support. Besides that, we also have the other side of the business that provides services to all sorts of other industries. So we have experience in dealing with a wide spectrum of industries and clients. As such, it puts us in an authoritative position to make an objective comparison.

Without downgrading other businesses, the domainers we have had and continue to have the pleasure of dealing with are nothing but reasonable, professional, courteous and absolutely great people to deal with. The goal of this post is to dispense any concepts of relating domainers to cyber squaters. Real domainers are nothing like cyber squaters. Far from it! “Domainer” is a professional designation stemming from the Web’s success. Domainer Script clients are the most professional and progressive business people around. It’s wonderful to be a part of this culture.

Domainers are not simply domain name owners. They are domain marketing professionals. Not all domain name owners are domainers. In future posts we will discuss the importance of domainers to Web success.
