NetRegistry scores IBM business
Domain-name specialist NetRegistry has signed into a reseller agreement with IBM, using the extra business to promote products and services on top of its traditional Domain registration business.
Under the agreement, NetRegistry offers IBM's Websphere software in conjunction with its own domain registration, Web-hosting, e-mail management and e-payments products. NetRegistry secured the deal after IBM began receiving a barrage of enquiries from SMEs during its expansive e-business advertising campaign, deciding to refer some of these customers onto channel partners.
"IBM recognises NetRegistry's core competency in tailoring a product range to the SME market," said NetRegistry chief executive officer Larry Bloch. "The agreement means that we complement their product offering and they complement ours."

MSN Explorer is a key piece of Microsoft's .NET strategy, which aims to make its Windows and Windows-based products available over the Internet as services on a wide array of devices. The beta, dubbed Preview 2, will soon be available for download at preview.msn.com, said company officials, who would not divulge a final release date.
