.BIZ
Baron Launches Free Service at Email.biz That
Lets You Check All of Your Email Accounts in One
Place - Also Offers Premium Addresses for $8
Annually
|
You've
probably all heard
of the Domain King (Rick
Schwartz), but you
might not be familiar with a guy who could
stake a good claim to the title - .Biz
Baron - if he wanted to. India's
Anshul Goyal, whose successful
development company, Guava
Softs Pvt Ltd., has thousands
of top tier .biz domains, including some
of the best one-word generics as well as
1, 2 and 3-character domains like z.biz,
up.biz and pet.biz. While
the company sells names from its premium
portfolio (that also includes .com,
.net and .in domains), it is
also a major developer of websites
based on .biz domains.
Most
of Goyal's attention these days is focused
on the launch of a time saving new free
email service at exactly the location
you would expect from him - Email.biz.
The new site gives users a single log-in to access
all of their email accounts. To
generate revenue the site also offers the option of selecting a memorable
premium email address tied to one of the
company's 16,000 top tier domains,
including |

Anshul
Goyal
Founder & CEO, Email.biz |
surnames
and category defining generic names like Fly.biz,
Stock.biz, Surfing.biz. etc.
The cost for a premium name, for example [email protected],
is $8 a year. |
|
|
The free addresses
(your name @ email.biz) come with 10 GB of standard storage space with other options, like
unlimited storage, a 200 MB attachment
size and SMS alerts for your important email can unlocked at nominal additional prices per year. |
|
And
why .biz you are likely to ask?
".biz
has always been my favorite extension
after .com and .net," Goyal said.
".biz is a 3 letter extension that is
more than 10 years old and almost 2.3
million .biz domains are already out
there in the global market. If we look at
domain counts, it shows .biz is the 2nd
fastest growing TLD after .com with a
growth rate of 6.1% over the past
year."
While
Email.biz was just launched Goyal has been
planning the service for years now.
"The idea came into my mind around six years back , when
I needed to check my corporate email and no good source was
available," Goyal said. "So I decided to start working on it
and to provide a clean and fully loaded features interface
that would work from almost any POP3
or IMAP4
|

|
email
server like Yahoo, Google, AOL,
etc , that people can use even if they are not registered with
us (they just sign in with the address and
password for whatever service's account
they want to access)." |
"The
second part - personalized premium email
addresses - was motivated by the
increasing demand for personalized and premium
products," Goyal siad. "People are spending lots of money on mobile numbers , car
(license tag) numbers , landline phone numbers , even a good house |

|
number.
Now people can to make the shortest
address (like [email protected]) or the name
you select @ your surname or @ an adress
that reflects your passion."
Goyal
said there a lot of new updates and innovations still in pipeline
for Email.biz. The company's other
developed sites include Profit.biz,
a financial services information portal
where Guava Soft also offers premium
domains for sale, and Up.biz,
a site that offers complete software
solutions, portal development, animation,
TV ads, tablet & mobile apps. |
