Tucows sells domain names, email and other services through its reseller network, OpenSRS group, directly to consumers and small businesses. Through OpenSRS Tucows claims to manage over eight million domain names, mailboxes for a network of over 9,000 web hosts, ISPs, and other resellers around the world. Headquartered in Toronto, the company has offices in Europe and the US.
Through Personal Names, Web.com will offer personalized email and web addresses for people looking to showcase their name brand for their business.
Elliot Noss, president and CEO of Tucows, said: As a market leader in providing online services to small and medium-sized businesses, Web.com’s selection of our Personal Names Service underscores the importance of e-mail to customer retention for service providers. Too many service providers are content to let their users get email from Google, Yahoo or Microsoft without realizing the cost to their business. Web.com recognizes that a quality email experience with a great, personalized email address is appealing and important to keep customers happy, retention high and word-of-mouth growing.
Jeff Stibel, president of Web.com, said: We are always looking to make the services we offer to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) more effective. This partnership with Tucows enables us to provide SMBs with a customized email address directly related to their own name.
