The PW Registry Corporation today announced new tools for resellers that will accelerate the rollout of the domain name industry's newest top-level domain, PW, to individuals and consumer groups. Short for "Personal Web", the PW domain is Internet's only top-level domain extension devoted to people and "Communities of Shared Interests." The company has partnered with LogicBoxes to offer a comprehensive, automated reseller solution to ease the integration of PW offerings into existing services and launched an Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) environment for resellers in preparation for the official launch of the PW domain in June.

Available immediately, the LogicBoxes' solution provides an all-in-one platform for Internet Service Providers and Web hosting companies to offer PW addresses to customers with little effort or upfront investment. The "registrar-in-a-box" solution ensures faster time-to revenue for resellers by enabling the rapid rollout of PW offerings to customers. Complete branding and customization tools, infinite multi-level reseller capability and a comprehensive suite of value-added services for ISPs and domain name registrars enables resellers to avoid spending time and resources on developing registrar technology, which is often a costly and lengthy process.

The domain name industry has become highly regulated in recent years, with specialized technical protocols required to communicate with domain registry providers. ISPs are forced to use ICANN-Accredited Registrars to register domain names, resulting in increased complexity, mandated annual registration fees and sharing of their customer relationships with registrars. PW Registry reduces this complexity with the LogicBoxes solution and its industry-first monthly registration term, which enables resellers and customers to adopt a PW address without an annual registration commitment.

"With our partnership with LogicBoxes, anyone can become a PW reseller with zero up front investment," said Tom Barrett, president of PW Registry. "More importantly, we have eliminated a fundamental disconnect between the ISP and domain name industries. ISPs offer monthly services while domain name registries offer yearly services. PW Registry is the Internet's first global domain to offer monthly registration terms. This will ease the bundling of PW addresses into monthly services, such as Internet access, mailbox hosting and website hosting. PW Registry's business model provides resellers and their customers more flexibility. New services can be rolled out faster and without red tape, providing time and cost savings for resellers."

Unlike other domain extensions, such as .com, .biz, and .info, PW is aimed at providing individuals and consumer/affinity organizations a highly-personalized, permanent and portable e-mail address and a managed platform for community and social networking. The first PW service will be "PW Domains", which are domain names such as "bob.smith.pw" that can be used for a personal websites, blogs or photo sharing sites. The OT&E for this service is immediately available for interested resellers and partners.
