Launch of an information portal for the .swiss internet domain
Biel/Bienne, 2.12.2014 - The new www.dotswiss.ch web portal provides details about the .swiss domain, answers important questions about applications and deadlines and keeps interested parties abreast of the latest news with a free newsletter. The website was created by the Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM) who, from autumn 2015, will be assigning the domain name to any business or organisation that has a clear connection with Switzerland. The launch of this information portal follows the signing of a contract with the American organisation ICANN, the body responsible for administering internet domain names, which assigned the .swiss domain to the Swiss Confederation.
