Sgnic announces second-level domain names

The Singapore Network Information Centre (Sgnic) has announced that it will launch second-level ".sg" domain names on 15 September.

Sgnic's move is intended to create more choices through the expansion of ".sg" domain names. The move is in line with global Internet trends adopted by countries like Hong Kong, Japan, China and the United States.

Applicants for second-level domain names need not show documentary proof of their eligibility to apply. This is because second-level domains do not contain .com, .org or .net. Foreign-based registrants need only to designate a local contact, such as their local registrar.

Sgnic will launch the second-level ".sg" domain names in two phases. Phase I is from 15 September to 2 January 2005. Phase II starts from 3 January next year.

All registered trademark holders, well-known mark holders, government bodies and existing registrants will be given priority in that order, to register their names at the second-level during the Phase I or the Soft Launch.

However, applications received within the first six weeks of Phase I known as the Sunrise Period will be processed as a batch. All applications received during Phase II or the General Launch period will be processed on a first-come-first-served basis.
