Top Level Domain .BIZ (ATlanticRoot Network, INC) is now up and Trading through GRANDOM.com, GRANDOM is the exclusive Registrar for the Original .BIZ TLD.

- For Immediate Release --

17 April 2002

The Pacificroot today announced that its Accredited Registrar, Grandom PTY, Ltd., located in Australia and the only PacificRoot Accredited Registrar licensed to provide domain registration services for the original .BIZ Top-Level Domain, is now live and trading with over 18000 .biz registrations to its credit.

The original, and authorized .BIZ was established in 1985 and has enjoyed continuous popularity from the global Internet community of registrants since its inception. Grandom.coms Internet based domain registration services bring both the convenience of an automated and realtime registrar into the living rooms of the average user and the workplace of corporations alike in a way that has not existed before.

With over 1 million domain registrations, The PacificRoot is the worlds largest provider of commercial root-level DNS services, by far surpassing the capacity and services offered by the aging US Government root system that it was designed to replace, and continues to displace in the commercial marketplace.

PacificRoot Chief Technology Officer and Internet pioneer Bradley D. Thornton was quoted as saying, For several years now The PacificRoots formula has been simple. All domains, all the world, all the time. It just made sense to us to provide the entire world of Internet users with access to every single Top-Level domain on the planet that existed instead of the same old com/net/org and apparently the people and companies that use their computers to connect to the Internet agree with our commitment to completely comprehensive service coverage."

Grandom.com is supported by some of the worlds largest providers of Internet backbone infrastructure and has positioned itself to empower and bring access to the entire Internet to the corporate and individual subscribers alike.

Grandom was founded by Ray Kommedal and Sash Cacoroski in 2001 to meet the needs of Australian companies and individuals that had little or no access to the Inclusive Name Space -- That vast part of the internet that was not serviced by the deprecated legacy root system owned and operated by the US Government.

Besides the original .BIZ Grandom.com also provides registration services for domains under Top-Level Domains like .CORP, .WINE, .UNITED, .GEN and many more specialty Top-Level Domains such as .NEWYORK, .KINKY, and .HONGKONG. Grandom is also a member of the Top-Level Domain Association, the largest trade organization which supports the interests of all Top-Level Domains, even those based upon the various two letter country codes determined by the International Standards Organization.

The PacificRoot was acquired in 1999 as part of a merger between two IT corporations that were founded in the early 1980s and is now a wholly owned entity of Southern Calfornia based Joint Technolgies, Ltd.
