Dec 15, 2006 : Best of the Web Switches Domains

📅 December 15, 2006 - Internet directory Best of the Web (bestoftheweb.com) announced on Friday it has recently acquired the domain bestoftheweb.com. The company was previously located at BOTW.org.

Effective immediately, the company says all Best of the Web offerings can now be accessed through the new domain. However, the Web directory, blog directory and verticals directory will remain at BOTW.org.

"The recent purchase of the bestoftheweb.com domain name was another feather in our cap," says Brian Prince, Best of the Web CEO. "Using the acronym BOTW, we have encountered some domain confusion in the marketplace, and this acquisition should really help in strengthening our brand recognition as Best of the Web. As we continue to expand our marketing efforts, it helps tremendously to have an easily recognizable and memorable domain name."

Founded in 1994 and generating more than two million page views every month, Best of the Web says it is a comprehensive, searchable directory that promotes a better online experience by recognizing and categorizing the best of what the Internet has to offer.
