Site icon Napier – B2B PR and Marketing Agency

Domain name nightmare

  • Mike Maynard

    • Licencing of titles to allow publishers to produce local versions of magazines is surprisingly common, but not without difficulty. We did feel sorry for Incisive Media, publishers of the UK version of CRN (Computer Reseller News). Unfortunately CMP (who originated the CRN brand) kept hold of the rights to the UK domain, so if you visit www.crn.co.uk, you land on CMP’s American ChannelWeb site. To get to the UK CRN site you now need to visit www.channelweb.co.uk, which takes you to Incisive Media’s UK-based CRN-branded site. Confused? I’m sure many readers are!
