Domainmonster.com today announced their accreditation for the new .cm domain name, prior to the public release of second level¹ registrations on 13th July 2009.

Joining recent accreditations for .fr (France), .im (Isle of Man) & .in (India), this recent .cm domain name accreditation complements Domainmonster.com's ccTLD (Country Code Top Level Domains) expansion.

"This could potentially be one of the biggest ccTLD launches ever", said Matt Mansell, CEO, Domainmonster.com. "Direct Navigation² is said to account for 1 in 6 visitors to a web site, and .cm is as close as a domain is ever going to get to .com. Brand owners and consumers alike will be keen to protect traffic that directly navigates to their site, especially when this traffic converts to sales at twice that delivered via a search engine", continued Mansell.

Launching to the public on 15th July 2009, Domainmonster.com will be taking pre-orders from 13th July 2009. More information on .cm can be found at the .cm domain registration pages at Domainmonster.com.

¹Second level means direct registrations below .cm, eg: "domainmonster.cm", not "domainmonster.com.cm".

²Direct Navigation is also known as "Type-In" traffic. This is where a user directly enters the address required in their browser address bar, rather than navigating to a search engine first.
