By choosing to pre-register with 1&1, users can trust in a partner with the timeliness, scale and expertise to deliver the widest possible selection of domains and unbeatable support, even for users of other hosting platforms. Furthermore, 1&1 domain customers benefit from the new 1&1 Domain Center interface, offering convenient, mobile and customizable administration and monitoring for their 1&1 domains and domain orders.

As many new gTLDs will be released for pre-registration in the coming weeks, 1&1 provides free advice to potential registrants. The 1&1 domain portal, www.1and1.com/new-top-level-domains , provides news and information about new gTLDs and suggests which Internet addresses could be relevant based on a particular business area or an individual field of interest.
