The Japan-based GMO Registry Inc., administrator of the top level domain .shop, is receiving prominent German support. Christian Voss, former Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) of the trading platform Sedo, Michael Piotrowski, former Head of Marketing at InterNetX, and Claus Barche, former Head of Sales at InterNetX, have joined GMO Registry as consultants. ‘I'm excited to announce that I've joined GMO Registry, Inc. as a Marketing Consultant! I'll be working to accelerate the growth of .shop, a TLD that's quickly becoming the #1 for e-commerce businesses worldwide’, says Michael Piotrowski. The .shop extension currently has just under 3.9 million registered domains and is the high-flyer on the nTLD market thanks to consistent growth over several years; currently only .xyz has more registrations with around 4.3 million domains. In addition to .shop, GMO Registry has three prominent geoTLDs under management with .tokyo, .nagoya and .yokohama; .tokyo has just under 200,000 registrations.
