Work
Since early 1999, the explosive demand of dot com names has brought Koster numerous requests to sell the 4U.com name or lease names to others. After reviewing his earlier plans and realizing the ongoing demand for dot com domain names, he has decided to develop 4u.com into a name leasing business (international registry) with the 4U.com extension. He believes that the name with its multi-language capabilities will best service the Internet needs of corporations and businesses or association which requires global presence on the Internet.
With good dot com names in short supply there’s a void that can be filled by the generic dot 4U.com namespace. Domain names ending with 4U.com offer the same characteristics for indexing by search engines as the standard dot com and offer further expansion for Search Engine Optimization.[2]
