Registrars

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., PRNewswire/ -- The Go Daddy Group, Inc., parent company of GoDaddy.com, the world's No. 1 registrar, has announced that all of its ICANN-accredited registrars -- Go Daddy, Blue Razor Domains and Wild West Domains -- now offer the .JOBS top level domain extension. Backed by the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM), with over 190,000 members worldwide, .JOBS serves the human resources community by providing an easy-to-remember nexus for those offering, and seeking, employment information and opportunities.

"Go Daddy is proud to offer the .JOBS domain extension to qualified professionals," said Bob Parsons, president and founder of The Go Daddy Group. "Go Daddy itself has experienced exponential growth during the past few years, so we know full well that job seekers need a direct route to career information," Parsons continued. "The www.companyname.jobs format provides just that. It provides a direct route for job applicants seeking specific career information at a particular company, and creates a more streamlined recruiting process for human resource professionals."

.JOBS is a restricted domain, meaning that applicants must be verified by the registry, Employ Media, in order to qualify for the domain name. The ability to secure a company name in .JOBS is restricted to those who: (i) are tasked with hiring (or other HR duties) on behalf of their employer; (ii) are authorized to purchase their companyname.jobs on behalf of their employer; and (iii) agree to abide by both the .JOBS Use Policies and the SHRM Code of Professional Ethics. Purchasers of .JOBS domain names will, upon passing verification, see their domain names live on the Internet on or about September 1, 2005.

.JOBS domain names cost just $119.95 per year at GoDaddy.com, with a one-time application fee of $39.95. Prices are slightly less at membership-based Blue Razor Domains ($114.95 & $34.95). Wild West Domains resellers who choose to offer .JOBS domain extensions set their own pricing.
