.BOSTON Domains Are Live Today!BOSTON, Oct. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The much anticipated launch of .boston websites for the general public is finally here! Any business or individual is now able to purchase available .boston (www.example.boston) domain names of their choice, for a fee starting at $18 per year per domain. www.cic.boston, www.ducktours.boston, www.newtechnology.boston, and www.techstars.boston are already onboard. Starting today, the domain names ending in .boston are registered on a first come first served basis. This means that the earlier a domain is applied for, the higher the chances are of it being available; and that the first person to apply for an available web address will be the first person to get it. Taking into account that a domain can only belong to one person, it is very likely that Bostonians will rush to register their business and personal names, hobbies and interests before other applicants. At 12pm Boston time,the Registry will open for public access. Anyone can request a domain name ending in .boston and get it registered in minutes. Prior to today, Bostonians could apply for domain names, but were subject to an allocation process and their applications were being held. Traction has begun with a handful of local businesses. Companies like Boston Duck Tours, the quintessential Boston attraction, can now be found at www.ducktours.boston. Some other companies are obtaining the .boston domain to get an email address like [email protected]. These emails can be forwarded to any existing service or configured to work with any provider. More local businesses, organizations and ventures are expected to adopt the .boston address in the following days because of its SEO and branding benefits. According to www.hello.boston, one of the main registration services specialized in .boston domains, there has been a lot of interest from individuals and organizations to rebrand themselves with .boston and use it as their primary web address. Gerardo Aristizabal from Hello.boston pointed out that "People doubt if they can use a .boston just as a traditional web address like .com or .net. The answer is yes you can! New .boston web addresses can be used for email, websites, etc. and work with any existing provider of these services." With the world moving to the digital space, .boston may become the new "go-to" place on the Internet for Boston related businesses and projects. Companies and individuals are invited to take advantage and claim a piece of .boston real estate at www.hello.boston. Domains can be registered at Hello.boston - www.hello.boston Contact: View original content with multimedia:http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/boston-domains-are-live-today-300533726.html SOURCE Hello.boston
