Overview

The OpenSRS Personal Names Service enables you to offer your customers web and email addresses based on our extensive portfolio of surnames. These names cannot be found anywhere else, and represent an estimated 60% of the last names of our North American resellers' customers. This service allows your customers to have a website address and an email address based on their last name without actually owning the name, for example, steve.smith.net. In addition, email addresses are available on a second-level basis ([email protected]).
