Welcome to June, the month when days grow longer towards midsummer in the Northern Hemisphere of our small, blue planet. Not only are the days growing, but so is our Taipei team, which is now ready to take on the Asian market.

It is also a big month for new gTLDs, and we will give you a little summary of what to expect, both the good and the bad. There are also some updates to ccTLDs that you should know about.

1. Looking East to Gandi Asia

Gandi Asia is open for business! While we've been offering support
services in the Asian time zone for some time, we are now expanding, in
order to offer Asian customers a far more convenient way to buy domains
and hosting from Gandi. For one thing, the Gandi website is now
available in Chinese and simplified Chinese, and you can pay in several
Asian currencies. We have also strengthened our DNS services in Asia,
and even trained a team to offer Corporate services to Asian companies.

Domains for designers
This is Kyle. He is Name.com's graphic designer. He's very good. His domain is not good (his words, not ours). But now .DESIGN domains are available, so Kyle can get a domain that's really great. You can too.

Get the Tools That Rule
Why apps? Namecheap CEO Rick Kirkendall says «Our vision is a free and open internet, and customers are our first priority. We constantly strive to provide best-in-class services and products that meet customer needs.»

Namecheap wants to provide everything you need to build your own winning web presence. Once you have the solid foundation of domain and hosting in place, you're ready for the tools to finish the job, and that's what you'll find in our new Apps shop. We have grab-n-go tools for site creation, logo design, uptime monitoring, legal services, traffic boosting and beyond. Everything's available for immediate download, and more apps are on their way.

Apps is currently in Beta, so it's a great time to tell us what you think. Please take a look around and then send us your feedback here. Thanks! We hope you love it.

Find Your Voice with .PRESS
May is World Press Freedom Month, and Namecheap's guiding vision is one of free expression online, for everybody. So this is a no-brainer for us. In support of universal freedom of the press, we're offering .press domain names for nearly free. Throughout the month of May, you can get a .press for only $9.88 ($50 off the usual one-year registration rate). The .press TLD was created to honor journalists who give voice to the voiceless.

New Domains are cool TLDs that make it easy to do cool internet stuff, and we've created a video series that's all about the benefits and uses of New Domains.

You'll be educated! You'll be entertained! Or at least you'll get to watch Jared Ewy grab a domain out of the air. It's pretty impressive.

.SOCIAL: Bring your online and offline worlds together
Most of us use Facebook, LinkedIn, and other social media networks to connect online with the people we meet in the real world. But sharing the links to our social media pages can be difficult, because the URLs are long and complicated.

.SOCIAL fixes that problem. Register a .SOCIAL domain—like yourname.social—and set up URL forwarding with your favorite social media profile. Now it's easy to tell your new friends how to find you.
