Switch: Subsidiary founded to secure its own future
Switch, a Swiss domain name registry, has established a subsidiary called Switchplus. The subsidiary is intended to secure the company's future in the Internet domain sector, as it is apparently unclear whether the current contract with the Federal Office of Communications will be extended beyond 2015.
The Swiss registry for domain names Switch has founded the subsidiary Switchplus. The equal partner company will initially offer the registration of domain names. Additional services such as e-mail and web hosting are to follow later this year or at the beginning of 2010. Switch will remain the registry for .ch and .li domain names.
With the launch, Switch is making a contribution to securing its own future in the area of Internet domains. This is because the contract with the Federal Office of Communications (Bakom) expires in 2015 and it is unclear whether and in what form a new contract will be concluded, the company wrote in a press release on Monday.
