In this regard, the .juniper gTLD will be used by Juniper to provide information, services and resources to consumers in a way that promotes trust, simplicity and innovation. The .juniper gTLD will provide an authoritative Internet space for Juniper and, potentially, its affiliates and partners that are associated with the brand. Second and third level domains can then be utilised for information marketing purposes, with Internet users assured of brand authenticity.
