The release of the .cm domain (Cameroon) started half June. Right now, the landrush for this extension is taking place. Up until now, the .cm extension seems to be very successfull. The bad news is that this success is partially caused by cybersquatting.

According to cybersquatters, .cm is a great alternative for .com names. Most people type fast, especially when they’re typing a well-known domain name. But if you type fast, you also make little mistakes. And that’s where .cm enters. The error between .cm and .com is easily made and cybersquatters want to be benefit from this. And it seems to work. The name google.cm has already been registered and receives approximately 20.000 hits a day! Conclusion: .cm is one big playground for cybersquatters.

Therefore companies are adviced to register their .cm name rather quickly in order to avoid all problems with cybersquatters.
