Domain Extensions by country

"Internet penetration levels are growing quickly in our Eastern and Central European markets and the web is becoming an increasingly important marketing tool for our International division. Domain names are at the heart of our online growth strategy and are fundamental to our business. We have had great success using campaign-specific domain names to capture public interest for our Provident brand. We're confident that our online brands are in safe hands with NetNames and that we're always ready to take advantage of any new opportunities or respond to potential threats."
