			<description><![CDATA[ICANN Announces its support for new TLD domain extensions!

On Friday, ICANN, the net's regulator, voted unanimously to relax the strict rules on so-called "top-level" domain names, such as .com or .uk. The decision means that companies could turn brands into web addresses, while individuals could use their names such as .smith or .namesco.

"We are opening up a new world and I think this cannot be underestimated," said Roberto Gaetano, a member of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).

As one of the UK’s largest registrars for Domain Names, Namesco have welcomed the news! 

“Namesco has always been at the very forefront of new domain name extensions. We are all waiting to hear the next steps from ICANN, but nevertheless, despite being early days we’re all very excited about what this means for the internet community as well as for Namesco and its customers.”  Jason Smith, Director (Namesco Ltd).

			<description><![CDATA[Namesco enters the annual ISPA (Internet Service Providers Association) awards each year and the last few years we have received a number of excellent nominations.

The Internet Services Providers' Association (ISPA UK) has been organising the UK Internet Industry Awards since 1999 to herald the best of the Internet industry and to celebrate innovation and best practice. In 2002 the awards were dubbed The ISPAs.

This year, we have been nominated in 2 categories as follows:

     •    Best Shared Hosting
 
     •    Best Dedicated Hosting

"This is excellent news for Namesco as there is much competition in the UK ISP market place" commented Jason Smith, Operations Director.  "To be one of just 5 finalists is testament to our continued investment in our people and infrastructure and we are confident of a win!".

Attended by senior decision makers, Government representatives and the media, The ISPAs are the premiere event for the Internet industry.

The finalists for each category can be found on the individual category pages at http://www.ispaawards.org.uk
