The Web hosting provider Sistemas Del Registro (www.SistemasDelRegistro.com) announced on April 6 that it has been selected by VeriSign (www.verisign.com), the International Registry for .com and .net names, as one of their Registrar partners in a marketing project aimed at increasing the awareness of businesses and individuals in South America of the benefits of owning and using gTLDs such as .com and .net.
Jessica Clarkson, Senior Marketing Manager for VeriSign, said that though VeriSign’s main focus is Brazil for this initial marketing plan, VeriSign expects a lot of exposure throughout South America from this. Cindy Maria, Customer Service Representative at Sistemas Del Registro, said that there will be extensive marketing and education to the public about how to buy and successfully utilize a domain name.
