A Review of Global Domains International (GDI)
HOW IT STARTED:
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY:
All of us know the code “.com”, and because it stands for “commercial”, it is used worldwide. Similar to the saturation of the 1-800 telephone numbers for commercial companies, which created numbers like 1-888, dot com was also becoming saturated, and consequently disallowing new domain names to be made with a dot com code (a domain name is simply a web address, such as www.google.com). Michael and Alan then decided to create a new code that could be used worldwide. The code they decided on was “.ws” for “web site”. However, this code had already been assigned by the IANA to the country of Western Samoa in the deep south Pacific. So Michael and Alan went to Samoa and met with the King and Prime Ministers, purchased their country code, and agreed to give them a cut of their profits.
For every person you refer to the company that gets their own .ws domain name, you get 10% of their monthly fees, or $1 a month. For every person they refer, you also get $1 a month, and this continues for 5 downlines. For example, if you refer 5 people, and they each refer 5 people, and this continues for 5 downlines, you will receive $3905 monthly. GDI also offers bonuses, one being for every 5 people you refer in a 7 day period, you get $100. If you refer 25, you get a $500 bonus, and so on and so forth.
When you sign up for the 7 day free trial with Global Domains International, you get your very own .ws domain name (which you can use to market your primary business, forward visitors to another website, etc.), and 10 email addresses to go along with it. You also get a website creator, access to exclusive forums, and much more. After the 7 day trial you pay only $10 a month and keep all these features.
Nine months later, the company had sold over 100,000 .ws domain names to such companies as Dell computers, Yahoo!, and Intel. Soon they created marketing campaigns in such magazines as Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and USA Today. In 2002, Global Domains International was placed #37 on Inc. Magazine’s Inc. 500 Fastest Growing Private Companies in the United States, and today it still continues to grow at a rapid pace.
Michael Reed and Alan Ezeir are the co-founders of Global Domains International. In the mid 1990s the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) gave each country a code for internet use. For example, the United States received .us, Ireland received .ie, and so on and so forth.
