昨天看到消息，Internetbs（Internet.bs）被CentralNic收购了（官网上也置顶了该消息）。Internetbs一直以来都是微魔比较偏爱的域名注册商，价格公道，支持reseller，客服在线率比较高，售后很及时。至于后者，微魔并不熟悉，这是一家来自英国的域名注册商，运营着.us.com、.cn.com以及.jp.net等域名后缀，同时持有.wiki、.xyz等新顶级域名，可见其实力。但是在微魔看来，域名商被收购之后，往往都会伴随着性价比方面的折扣，比较典型的例子就是Netfirm，希望Internetbs不要因为并购而有所折损。
另外，由于本文如果不提供一些优惠信息总觉得对不住大家。域名方面，Internetbs常规价格COM：8.99美元，目前来讲不算最低，Namesilo的常规1美元折扣（注意，是在原价的基础上减1美元！），虽然算是蚊子肉，但是貌似只对新用户（或第一次使用）有效，微魔前几天刚刚转移了几个com域名，对比了一下，Name.com的价格8.25美元貌似是主流域名注册商里比较给力的。
The ICANN accredited Bahamian registrar business of Internet.bs Corp. (IBS) has been acquired by CentralNic Group PLC(“CentralNic”) in a move that is intended to provide IBS customers with continued and expanded leading-edge, personalized registrar services. CentralNic, as one of the world’s top domain name Registries and a publically listed company on the London Stock Exchange, is well positioned to continue and enhance the IBS tradition of providing best of breed quality Registrar services targeting end user domain owners, small to larger resellers and domainers wanting the security, reliability, and ease of use at the best price available Gregg McNair, IBS Chairman worked closely with Ben Crawford, CEO of CentralNic, to effect the sale of the IBS business along with Marco Rinaudo, IBS Founder and CEO. The IBS story goes back more than ten years when Italian born Rinaudo sold his ICANN accredited hosting business in France, in yet another Rinaudo success story. He then moved with his French wife to the Bahamas where they established IBS – a highly cost-efficient registrar and domain administration technical platform that passes the cost benefits on to customers. The family later moved to Panama as the IBS business grew steadily with fellow Panamanian resident McNair being appointed to the board some two years ago with the aim of helping position the business for future growth and diversification. “I am pleased to confirm that all IBS staff will continue with me to ensure a seamless transition” said Marco Rinaudo, “I am very excited to see the Company that I founded and nurtured for more than 10 years enter this new phase of development. The great working relationship that I have forged with Ben Crawford and the CentralNic team provides me with the assurance that my IBS customers will be well supported in the future and will appreciate the proposed broadening of services to be introduced by the combined team. I will be working alongside Ben to make sure that happens in the best interest of our established and new customers.” he said. Ben Crawford said, “A registrar that serves customers in 199 countries is pretty remarkable. And when you add to that IBS’s advanced technology, its smart, efficient people and its commitment to low prices and great service, that all makes IBS the kind of company we are excited to have join the CentralNic Group.” Gregg McNair, IBS Chairman said “I am delighted to bring together two excellent businesses. Further I am pleased to have been able to assist my good friend and business partner Marco, in this transaction. CentralNic certainly has the capacity and resources to take the IBS business to the next level”. For Further Information: Marco Rinaudo: marco.rinaudo@internet.bs (press interview by email only).
