Personal Names

What are Personal Name email addresses?

Personal Name email addresses are unique email addresses based entirely on individual first and last names (i.e. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ). They leverage Tucows' exclusive collection of over 42,000 surname domains (e.g. smith.net, mcreynolds.com). These are available to OpenSRS resellers as "shared domains" so you can offer your customers more memorable, more professional addresses at their own surname.

Erica Smith, for example, can have This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and countless Smiths can have theirs as well.

Personal names are available for roughly 70% of North Americans and renew at over 85% each year.

Who would want a Personal Name email address?

Sole proprietors, agents, consultants, freelancers, creatives, performers, networkers, job searchers... anyone who is interested in cultivating their personal brand.

For OpenSRS resellers, this represents an opportunity to either expand your customer base beyond traditional small businesses or to expand your relationship ("share of wallet") with your existing base.

How are they used?

Personal Name email addresses can be configured to complement your current email offering. The goal is to offer your customers a greater selection of email addresses, not necessarily a new email experience.

What is the wholesale price?

You can offer your customers Personal Names at a wholesale cost of just $0.75 /month.
