American Domain Name Registry (United States)

The American Domain Name Registry seeks to contribute to the growth and development of the Internet in innovative and creative ways. For example, during the initial phase of its development, the American Registry will attempt to develop an easier and more user-friendly approach for searching and registering domain names. But the hallmark of the American Registry will be its turnkey e-commerce package (e.g. Internet storefront) and technical support that will be offered to its registrants— during the second phase. Registrants will be able to open Internet storefronts without programming knowledge. This is the type of innovation and public service that the American Registry will strive to achieve. To implement these plans, the American Registry plans to raise working capital by listing itself on the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ in the near future.
