eNom and BulkRegister Launch VeriSign Trust™ Seal
SANTA MONICA, Calif. – July 19, 2010 – eNom, Inc., the world’s largest ICANN accredited domain name wholesale registrar and the largest reseller of VeriSign SSL Certificates, returns to HostingCon 2010 as a Gold Sponsor where today the company announced the launch of the VeriSign Trust Seal to its expansive security product offering catalog.
The VeriSign Trust Seal insignia will signal to visitors of the web site that the publisher of the site has passed a three point verification process by VeriSign, the company already trusted by nearly 90 percent of the largest internet retailers to secure their customer transactions. In addition to the verification, VeriSign Trust Seal provides a daily web site malware scan and alerts the publisher immediately if it detects malware on a given site. VeriSign trusted sites benefit from the added visibility of VeriSign® Seal-in-Search™, which displays the VeriSign seal next to search result links from popular search engines on enabled browsers. For web sites that do not require an SSL certificate, the VeriSign Trust Seal presents an alternative that assures visitors of the site’s safety.
“At eNom, we know that security and trust is as important an ingredient to a successful web site as the domain name itself. The VeriSign Trust Seal service is a proven, reliable and simple method for establishing that trust and we’re proud that VeriSign has chosen to partner with us to introduce this new product to the marketplace; especially during HostingCon,” said Chris Sheridan, vice president of Sales for eNom, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Demand Media.
“We are pleased to expand our relationship with eNom with their launch of the VeriSign Trust Seal,” said Fran Rosch, senior vice president, Authentication Products & Strategy at VeriSign. “As a platinum partner, we look forward to continuing to work with eNom as they provide their resellers with the trust and security products they desire on their web sites.”

Account Security Tips and Tricks
At BulkRegister, we take security very seriously. It is a priority to us that your domains and services remain safe in your account available to you 24/7. And while our security is very robust, pitfalls such as weak passwords and malware acquired from other sites can compromise the safety of not only your BulkRegister account, but all of your online accounts.
With that in mind, here are some tips to keep your online experience safe:
- Use a unique and complex password. Do not use "password" or your username as the password.
- A combination of alphanumeric characters and symbols is best. These are the symbols that can be used for passwords at BulkRegister: * @ - _ . /
- If you have multiple BulkRegister accounts, please choose a unique password for each account.
- Do not use the same password for your email or hosting accounts, as you use for your BulkRegister account.
- Change your passwords frequently.
- If you are using a domain name that you control for the email address on your account, please do not allow the domain name to expire.
- Keep the registrar lock enabled on your domains.
- Be sure to select a Secret Question/Answer that only you are able to supply in case you forget your password.
- Only provide your login/password to colleagues and trusted family member that are authorized to access your account.
- When an employee leaves or is terminated, be sure to change your password and secret answer right away.
We also offer products and features that help you with keeping your account and private information secure.
Account Validation adds an additional layer of security to your account, which will make it much more difficult for malicious parties to access your account. Learn More!
ID Protect shields your WHOIS information so that potential phishers and identity thieves cannot obtain your email address to send you faked emails trying to gain your confidence and coerce vital information from you. Learn More!
eNom and NameJet Partner to Offer .CO General Availability Pre-Order Service
Auction style service will provide a cost-effective alternative to .CO Landrush registration for NameJet customers
SANTA MONICA, Calif. – June 25, 2010 – eNom, Inc., the world’s largest ICANN accredited domain name wholesaler and accredited .CO registrar, today announced a partnership with NameJet, to offer a general availability (GA) pre-order bidding service for new .CO domain names, designed to improve its customers’ chances of obtaining desirable .CO domain names during the GA period, for less than Landrush registration prices.
During the pre-order period, which is now open and will remain open until July 19 at 11:00 pm EDT, potential registrants may place a bid for any non-registered .CO domain name for $39.00, which includes the application fee and one-year registration fee. If more than one potential registrant bids for the same .CO domain name the bids will be entered into a transparent auction format allowing potential registrants to see other bids and to raise their own accordingly.
Once .CO GA opens, NameJet’s proprietary auction platform swings into action, utilizing a multitude of resources to attempt to register the desired domains more efficiently than an individual and thus optimizing each participant’s chances of securing the domain name they want. Auction participants who do not win their choice of domain name will not be charged their initial bid amount.
“eNom is pleased to collaborate with NameJet to give customers the best opportunity to secure the .CO domain names they want at below land rush prices. This complements our ongoing commitment to provide our customers with the most diverse selection of domain names at affordable pricing,” said Chris Sheridan, vice president of sales for Demand Media, the parent company of eNom, Inc.
“We are excited to be able to provide this .CO landrush alternative for our customers. Our main objective is to provide services that allow our customers the opportunity to acquire the domain names they want and eNom has a proven track record in this area,” said Steve Brown, General Manager of NameJet.
