.ovh is a Community Brand TLD being proposed in ICANN's New gTLD Program. The applicant is OVH SAS,[1] which is a French hosting company. It is one of the few open, branded community TLD applications: "Buying a .ovh extension will be an entry-level opportunity for an individual to secure a visible web identity at a lower cost than the current rates. It will represent the occasion for this person to easily take place on the webspace without any financial risk. Additionally, the .ovh extension will be a way for this person to assert his belonging to the OVH IT community and enjoy privileged access to OVH services and forums where a large group of customers already collaborate to provide for mutual assistance. Access conditions to a .ovh domain are completely open, as any OVH customer can acquire one."
Its community of clients comprises "approximately 400,000 members."[2]
Contract Signed
