Provides recently launched domain extension to its customers.

Blacknight Solutions, an internet services company, announced that is now accredited to sell .co.nl domain names. The company avers that by registering a .co.nl domain name, registrants have the opportunity to reach a wider audience, particularly in the Netherlands.

The company explains that domain names with the .co.nl extension can be registered by anyone anywhere, unlike the .nl country code that requires a contact point in the Netherlands.

It claims that with over three million .nl domain names already registered, obtaining your preferred .nl domain name can be difficult, however with this new extension, it will be much easier. It adds that the .co.nl domain name extension was launched at the ICANN meeting in Paris held from 23-26 June, 2008. To ensure every person and every company has a fair chance to register their own .co.nl domain name, there will be a Sunrise period, during which every owner of a .nl and/or a valid trademark registration has the exclusive opportunity to register the international variant of their domain name within the defined Sunrise periods. Multiple eligible applications of the same .co.nl name received during the 2nd Sunrise period will be assigned on a first come first served basis, it says.

"Becoming an accredited registrar for .co.nl domain names allows us to give our clients an even wider range of options for registering domain names", said Blacknight CEO Michele Neylon. "It extends the level of service we can offer our clients, making Blacknight Solutions a one-stop shop for all a businesses' internet hosting and domain name requirements."
