Boston, MA (PRWEB) December 16, 2004 -- The PW Internet domain officially started accepting registrations on December 15 at 12pm. PW, also called Privacy Web", is designed for individuals and groups and offers spam-free email forwarding and personal domain names. The PW Registry, which runs the .pw domain for the Pacific Island nation of Palau, has figured out an ingenious system for users to obtain a meaningful email address and then blocking spam to their selected address.
100% of the Worlds Family Names:
To sign up is a simple two step process: Users enter their preferred name ending with .pw into any web browser. For example, they could enter Wilson.pw." Users then select their email prefix, say Bill", creating an address such as bill@wilson.pw. No matter how common someones favorite choice is, .pw guarantees 100% of the worlds family names, ethnic groups and team mascots are available.
Had it with assembly-line email addresses like jsmith987654321? Tired of being locked in by your ISP? With .pw email, users can choose a meaningful e-mail address -- their last name, hometown, favorite school, hobby, anything," says Tom Barrett, CEO of PW Registry. Getting started is as simple as entering any string into your web browser ending with .pw."
Spam Firewall:
Concern about spam is a significant factor for consumers choosing an Internet service provider. According to a recent survey, 23% of online households perceive their ISP as very unsuccessful at stopping spam. Most anti-spam methods are limited to deployment on your PC or at your ISP. The PW Registry blocks spam before it even reaches your ISP.
By deploying spam blocking technology close to the internets root servers maintained by ICANN and Verisign, spammers are prevented from ever gaining access to .pw email addresses. The result is the internets first spam-free internet domain.
Privacy Epidemic:
Barrett says There is a privacy epidemic on the internet and consumers are fed up." He continues, With leadership and support from Palau, weve come up with the Internets first and only domain extension designed to protect the privacy of individuals. The consumer is in control of who can send them email."
E-Mail Portability:
Consumers and small businesses hesitate to treat e-mail addresses as permanent because e-mail services are so fundamentally tied to ISPs. With .pw, users can maintain their permanent .pw email address and forward mail to their existing ISP. Then, just like phone number portability, consumers are free to switch providers without losing touch with friends, family, and business contacts.
