With the increased popularity of the .PS ccTLD we are experiencing an increased amount of cyber squatting. Companies that wish to protect their brand integrity should register their corporate, registered and trademark names with .PS as soon as possible to ensure that their brand names are protected. 

Cyber squatters , domain hunters and competitor companies are eager to claim your valuable internet assets. So be careful and avoid such unpleasant surprises Also by registering your domain name early, you will avoid the domain name arbitration and dispute resolution process that are  long and tedious and sometimes costly processes. Companies must either arbitrate the transfer themselves or hire a domain manager to broker the transfer. Both ways are time consuming and costly.

By registering your name under the .PS ccTLD today, entities can avoid this hassle and protect their brand integrity in a globally open market. We encourage all companies to protect their digital identity and make their presence known in Palestine, Middle East and internationally.

So give your brand name international visibility by registering your domain(s) under the .PS ccTLD.
