We asked .swiss domain holders for their opinion – and received more than 1,000 responses. Our survey looked at decision-making authority in the digital realm, at how .swiss website addresses are used, and focused on the domestic market and exports. The key findings from the survey are presented below. (more…)
An article about dot.swiss titled ‘The top-level domain that serves as a Swiss seal of quality’ was published in KMU Magazin. The magazine confirms that this domain name ending has a bright future in store.
The top-level domain .swiss will be playing an active role at Best of Swiss Web. The brand dot.swiss has teamed up with the awards.
E-commerce is booming around the world and Swiss companies remain relatively reserved. “Made in Switzerland” has an excellent reputation and Swiss companies can benefit from it by using a .swiss internet address.
The 11 January launch of the second phase of registration of .swiss internet addresses extends the range of possible domain names and potential candidates. It also opens up the possibility for umbrella organisations or sector representatives to submit a dossier in order to obtain a generic address, such as hotel.swiss or watch.swiss, which will then be put at the disposal of the sector as a whole. The first phase has already enabled some 7000 .swiss internet addresses to be assigned.
Biel/Bienne, 19.11.2015 – The initial registration period for the new .swiss internet addresses closed on 9 November 2015. 9’738 applications were received. The list of valid candidatures is available from today on the nic.swiss site. Interested parties now have 20 days to submit a rival application or make comments. The Federal Office of Communications OFCOM will assign uncontested addresses at the end of this period and will process disputes. The general phase opens on 11 January 2016 and will allow submission of new applications for .swiss domain names.
Public or private businesses and organisations can now apply to acquire a .swiss internet address. During the initial phase launched on 7 September 2015, applications can relate only to trademarks registered in accordance with an ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) process, names associated with public bodies and distinctive signs protected in Switzerland. At a press conference this morning, federal councillor Doris Leuthard, the head of DETEC, stressed the importance to the Swiss economy of the availability of this new “shop window” abroad.
