First dot-London web addresses go live
Businesses in the capital will be able to reserve a .London web address from today
The much-anticipated web extension, .London will open for registrations today,
giving brands, businesses and charities the opportunity to associate their
name with the iconic city brand.
More than 100,000 firms have already registered their interest, and today
marks the start of a three-month period during which Londoners will be given
priority in reserving a new .London web address. Trademark holders will also
be given priority during the period.
The London Symphony Orchestra, West Ham United Football Club, Fortnum and
Mason, Meantime Brewery, Metro Bank and TechHub are among the first
companies to launch websites using the new domain.
“The arrival of .London is a major milestone in the long history of the UK’s
capital, building a new home for the city online," said Jan Corstens,
worldwide project partner at ICANN's Trademark Clearinghouse and Partner at
Deloitte.
