I just received the following email:

Dear Loyal Customer,

I have great news for you! Register.com is now a Web.com company, and with that everything just got easier.

Not only will you still have access to the Register.com products and services you currently enjoy but you will now be able to take advantage of Web.com’s acclaimed Build-it-for-Me products too!

Web.com is focused on helping small businesses succeed online with our broad range of Build-it-for-Me services. So, what do we mean by that? Each website we design, Facebook page we launch or online marketing campaign we build is customized to meet your business’ specific needs, starting with an in-depth interview with you. We want to understand what makes your business tick in order to build the most powerful web presence for you. You say it, and we build it.

Plus, our designers and copywriters are experts at optimizing for Google™, Yahoo!®, Bing™, Facebook and many others. We make sure your business gets found in the places where your customers are searching, whether it’s a site we’ve built for you or a site you already have.

Over the coming weeks, you’ll be introduced to the many ways in which Web.com can offer its support and expertise.

Still prefer to do it yourself? You’ll continue to enjoy the same portfolio of products from Register.com that you do today, supported 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by our customer service teams.

Register.com is excited to offer this expanded portfolio, and Web.com is excited to serve you.

You say it. We build it. It’s as easy as Web.com!

Sincerely,

David L. Brown
CEO

I'm not sure what this means, but I think I'm going to move my few domains from there.

Wow, you're a loyal customer i see... :D

Oh, Web.com will offer you their solutions (and try to make money, of course) on top of those from Register.com. They're like many other online companies which are focusing on small businesses, at least. The small and medium enterprise (SME) market, after all, is still big in the U.S.

I'm surprised you are just getting this email now. Register.com was bought by Web.com in 2010.

Web.com just acquired Network Solutions as well:

Nah, I'm not loyal to Register.com -- I've had some problems with them, mostly unwanted phone calls and hard sell.

I'm only there because I bought an aftermarket domain, and that's where it landed.

That actually happened in 2011. I worked for Register (before the Web.com deal) and couple of years later at Web (after the Register and Netsol deals).
