Welcome to the DomainNameWire.com newsletter.

Next week at least 25 domain name companies are attending
HostingCon in Boston. ( www.HostingCon.com )

I expect this number to grow in coming years.

So why would domain name companies flock to a conference
about web hosting?

The answer is two-fold.

First, web hosting companies are a huge sales force for
domain companies.

Are you a registry trying to get new registrations? You
need to cozy up with web hosting companies that sell
registrations directly to the best customers: those
developing a web site.

Second, most domain registrars also offer web hosting.

Let's face it, domain name registrations are a low margin
business for domain registrars. It's the hosting services
and other add-ons that make it profitable.

It's no coincidence that Go Daddy is both the world's
largest domain name registrar and hosting company.

As new top level domains rollout in 2013 I expect even
more domain related companies to go to HostingCon.

Here are 25 domain companies heading to Boston next week:
