Register.com offers its services to small- and medium- sized businesses, large corporations and individual consumers. Additionally, Register.com partners with ISPs, Web hosting companies and other online businesses that wish to resell the Company’s domain name registration service. The company charges $35 per year for each domain name.

register_web Register.com is in a very competitive business with other domain registrars offering names at lower prices.

The company is now privately held after it was purchased for $200 million in 2005 by Vector Capital Corporation, a San Francisco-based private equity firm.

In May, Register.com sold its Corporate Services Division to Corporation Service Company, a privately-held firm and leading provider of financial and legal services to corporations and law firms. Register.com’s Corporate Services Division provided online brand protection to large corporations with significant domain name portfolios.

Register.com was founded in 1994 and went public in March, 2000.
