B2 Interactive Acquires Storage.com Domain Name

B2 Interactive has recently acquired the premium domain name Storage.com,according to a press release sent out today.

According to whois records, the domain name was first registered in October 1994.The seller is Self Storage CO, a subsidiary of Extra Space Management, Inc.

You can read the press release after the jump :

” After several years of involvement in the operation of Storage.com as a vendor of various services and more recently as the licensing, marketing, and development partner for the website, B² Interactive, based in Omaha, Neb., has purchased Storage.com from Self Storage Co., a subsidiary of Extra Space Management, Inc. The transaction includes the purchase of various domain names, including Storage.com, all intellectual property, and ongoing business concerns of the site. Financial terms of the transaction are not being disclosed.

B² Interactive’s founders have a long history of providing online marketing services to the self storage industry, dating back to 1998 when co-founder Bill Hipsher built the first online directory for the industry. Hipsher’s partner and co-founder, Brandon Taylor, has been developing websites for the storage industry, including websites for large and small operators, since the early 2000s. The B² Interactive team includes both storage and digital marketing professionals that have histories in providing online marketing services to the self storage industry for more than a decade.

The website and domain will be entirely owned and operated by B² Interactive with the company’s headquarters located in Omaha, Neb. B² Interactive has added more than 80 employees since 2012. The company serves the digital marketing needs of the self storage industry through its self storage websites while also providing marketing, SEO and web development services to hundreds of other local, regional and national firms through their digital marketing agencies.

“The last 17 years have led to this opportunity,” said Hipsher. “As a company, we have worked diligently over the last few years to build a team that can execute on a vision that we have had for Storage.com for a very long time. There were limits as to how far our teams could go in executing our vision for Storage.com without owning the domain name and business interests of the site. With this acquisition we can confidently say that we are poised to successfully develop Storage.com in a way that provides real value to self storage owners.”

Storage.com will release plans for improvements and additional services in the coming weeks. “Storage.com is meant to be more than just an online marketplace for the storage industry,” said Taylor. “We are excited to continue building out services that benefit a storage owner’s online marketing efforts in the same way we provide services to our agency clients.”

The storage facilities using Storage.com services will see no changes nor disruptions to service as a result of the transaction. The team operating Storage.com will remain intact, and all clients will continue to have the same client support resources they have come to know over the last decade. B² Interactive will also continue to operate the other self storage related websites that the firm has operated for many years including USstoragesearch.com and StorageUnit.com.

Storage consumers who have rented self storage units on Storage.com will see no changes to those rentals either. Consumers will continue to be able to search for current deals and pricing on available self storage units from facilities across the United States and rent self storage units online at Storage.com.”

cICANN Successfully Completes Two Independently Conducted Service Organization Control Audits

ICANN today announced that it has achieved the Service Organization Control (SOC) 3 certification, formerly known as Systrust, of its Domain Name System Security Extensions Root Key Signing Key systems for the fifth consecutive year.

The organization also successfully completed its second SOC 2 audit, which evaluates key systems used to support IANA transaction processing functions. International accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) conducted both audits.

“Annual independent audits represent one of a number of ways ICANN is striving to measure business excellence and enhance accountability,” said Elise Gerich, ICANN’s vice president of IANA & technical services. “We are committed to delivering a high standard of work and a program of continuous improvement in all areas of operation.”

About SOC Audits

SOC audits evaluate an organization’s controls in relation to “trust services principles and criteria” developed and managed jointly by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA). Learn more: http://iana.org/audits.
About ICANN

ICANN’s mission is to ensure a stable, secure and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address into your computer – a name or a number. That address has to be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN coordinates these unique identifiers across the world. Without that coordination we wouldn’t have one global Internet. ICANN was formed in 1998. It is a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with participants from all over the world dedicated to keeping the Internet secure, stable and interoperable. It promotes competition and develops policy on the Internet’s unique identifiers. ICANN doesn’t control content on the Internet. It cannot stop spam and it doesn’t deal with access to the Internet. But through its coordination role of the Internet’s naming system, it does have an important impact on the expansion and evolution of the Internet.
