I’m really excited to announce that on Monday I start work at 101Domain.com. I’ve done business with them since 2002 and from a registry perspective they’ve always been one of the most responsive registrars to work with. They want to grow and already have the most comprehensive offer of domain names in the world. They’ve worked hard at establishing great registry relations for many years. Now it’s time to really go to market and show the world what a great domain industry product set they’ve developed. I can’t wait to get started.
Since I’ve been asking others to print this, I thought I’d publish our official press release here as well. 
For Immediate Release – 101Domain.com Hires Joe Alagna as VP, Channel Development
Carlsbad, CA — March 14, 2013 — 101Domain.com announced today, that Joe Alagna has joined the company as its Vice President of Channel Development. The two have a long-standing relationship, dating back to the beginnings of Alagna’s work for CentralNic where 101domain became one of the first registrars to work with the CentralNic registry. Alagna was formerly CentralNic’s GM for North American Markets where he played a central role in building and solidifying the registry’s North American market presence over the last 10 years through successful partnerships with registrars both large and small.
101domain is a leader in the international domain name industry and corporate brand protection solutions and is a rapidly growing force in the space, known for offering a staggering 1,500+ domain name extensions and a broad range of local presence and trustee services to both retail and corporate customers in the United States and abroad.
101domain’s COO, Anthony M. Beltran, states, “We have been hard at work rounding out our executive team to reinforce our capabilities as a global domain name registrar both in the retail and corporate brand services arenas. Joe is a key addition to our team as we continue to focus on our customers” needs, new product development, channel partnerships, and our key relationships. We look forward to Joe’s years of experience on the registry side of our industry as well as his unique insights on executing successful value-driven programs and products for our customers.”
Mr. Alagna points out, “101domain was one of my first resellers when I entered the domain name business. They’ve been steadfast about their growth and about participating in programs that brought success to both sides and to 101domain’s customers. I’m coming into this company knowing a good bit about their culture and knowing that we’re going to be a great fit for each other. 101domain is well positioned to take advantage of new gTLDs and is already a leader in international domain name registrations. They have the ability to assist clients in registering what will soon be over 3,000 domain name extensions around the world. There is no one that even comes close to this capability and we are going to leverage that to our advantage.”
