Welcome Thorsten Einig, OpenSRS’ New Managing Director, Europe Posted: 21 Oct 2010 04:35 AM PDT It gives me great pleasure to welcome Thorsten Einig to the OpenSRS team as our new Managing Director, Europe. Thorsten brings a wealth of experience in the hosting and internet industry, and we're excited to have him leading the charge as we continue to support and grow our OpenSRS business in Europe! Thorsten has more than ten years of experience in the hosting and domain industry. He spent eight years with 1&1 Internet in both Germany – being in charge of 1&1's domain business – and the USA, and last held the position of Business Development Manager for 1&1 in North America. Most recently, Thorsten worked as a Senior Product Manager at Leaseweb B.V. in the Netherlands. Thorsten's first-hand knowledge of the hosting industry and his depth of experience, specifically in terms of understanding the unique needs of the European market, will be of great benefit to our existing customers in Europe. We've tasked Thorsten with the responsibility for growing our business in Europe while still maintaining and reinforcing the existing strong relationships that we have with our European resellers. Thorsten will be based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, while his team will remain in the UK to bridge Canada and Europe.

Free WHOIS Privacy from OpenSRS Posted: 20 Oct 2010 08:36 AM PDT Did you know that an estimated 20% of .COM domain owners have WHOIS Privacy enabled on their domain’s public WHOIS record? For GoDaddy, that means as many as 8 million domain owners pay an extra $8.99 per year to have their personal address and contact information protected from the public Internet. That’s tens of millions of additional dollars into the pocket of the world’s largest domain registrar! Many wholesale registrars enjoy high margins on WHOIS Privacy as well. For example, when a reseller purchases the Privacy Protect option from eNom, that adds an extra $6 per year to the cost of the domain registration. At OpenSRS, we offer WHOIS privacy for free. It’s just another reseller-friendly choice we’ve made (foregoing substantial additional profit) to set ourselves apart from our competition and to help you profitably satisfy your customers and set yourselves apart from your competition. So, WHOIS Privacy has real value to your customers. You get it for free. This affords you two wonderful options: Charge for it (like GoDaddy) and enjoy the 100% profit. Make sure your customers know and appreciate that you are not charging for it. (Look out for some great white label materials soon to help explain the benefits of WHOIS Privacy to your customers!) Giving you the opportunity. Giving you the choice. For us, that’s what being reseller-friendly is all about.
