Yesterday
we told you
about
a couple of major new domain development partnership
deals involving Skip Hoagland. Today we can
tell you about another one involving two other giants from the geodomain space - the Castello
Brothers - Michael and David - of Castello
Cities Internet Network. Like Hoagland, the
Castellos are best known for fully developed .com city
domains (in their case, PalmSprings.com, Nashville.com
and Acapulco.com to name a few). However,
also like Hoagland, the Castellos own many top tier
generic keyword domains that they have also developed
into online businesses (examples include Bullion.com,
Daycare.com and Whisky.com).
Their
portfolio also includes Suntan.com and
that is the domain that will be

developed in their new partnership
with Birmingham, Alabama based LZ
Domains, LLC. LZ's founders have
been involved in the acquisition and development
of premium domains since 1998. LZ CEO Toby
Hardy said, ""We are
extremely excited about
the July rollout of the
Suntan.com brand and its robust
website. When we analyzed the
potential market on the internet
for everything from tanning and sun
protection to outdoor activities and
tropical vacations we realized that the
perfect global umbrella brand was
Suntan.com.
Suntan.com
is going to quickly replace other sponsors that
have experienced significant challenges in
today's market conditions. Whether
it's surfing, beach volleyball or visiting
your local tanning salon we'll promote and
discuss it on Suntan.com. With that domain we
have all four corners at the best intersection
on the planet," Hardy said. |

Chief Operating Officer David J. Castello said, "Since 1995 we
have developed intuitive domain names into
worldwide brands. The synergistic
relationship we have with LZ Domains made
this partnership the logical choice to
develop Suntan.com." |
