BOULDER, Colo.--May 26, 2004--Netidentity, an email and web domain services company, has impressively amassed the Internet's most comprehensive, surname-based collection of domain names, from Allen.net to Zimmermann.com.
Representing over seventy percent of the surnames of both the U.S. and European populations, this is the largest collection of domain names on the Internet for email accounts and website addresses.
Netidentity was founded in 1996 on the simple premise that each person can have a secure and memorable email address or web site, just like the name they are known for in real life. For example, instead of using a random word and number combination, Claire Daniels is Claire@Daniels.net or Rachel Smith is Rachel@Smith.net.
Once the Internet gained popularity with the consumer market, email addresses were provided by a user's ISP, place of work, or school. In response to this, free email providers like Yahoo! and Hotmail emerged; however, these services were heavily dependent on advertising that threatened consumers' privacy, and attracted spammers in large numbers. Today, consumers use their email accounts for more than just communicating with friends and family; email addresses are used as identification for medical information, banking, tax purposes, and more. Because of the uniqueness of Netidentity's name-based addresses, users' accounts are highly secure and virtually spam-free. Netidentity's rigorous privacy policy restricts advertisers from examining the keywords of users' emails, unlike services like Google Gmail.
"Netidentity enjoys loyal users who renew their accounts year after year," said Wanita Burnett, Director of Marketing for Netidentity. "This is very interesting to our resellers in our partner program. A lot of them have subscriber-based services and are searching for ways to attract new customers and keep them." Netidentity's services can be privately labeled by companies wishing to offer additional services for their customers and to build customer contact lists comprised of email addresses that aren't likely to change. Burnett adds: "The Internet is a primary means of communication for many people. Netidentity provides such a practical consumer solution by allowing users to use their own names. If you try it, you will very likely keep it for life."
