A new site launched on a .Co domain name is getting some national news coverage, I saw a feature on the site on Fox News yesterday.
The site is ManServants.co
By the way not that it’s going to come as any shock to anyone in the domain name space, Frank Schilling’s Name Administration owns the domain name ManServants.com
So to start with what is a Man Servant you ask? According to the site a Man Servant just to start with will:
- Waits on you hand and foot
- Takes photos
- Serves drinks
- Gives round-the-clock compliments
- Acts as a bodyguard
- Cleans up your hot mess
According to the company’s blog, the San Francisco-based startup co-founder came up with the idea of the startup while she was planning her own bachelorette party
“I do not want a stripper. I want a manservant, she said, noting that “this isn’t about what men think women want… This is about what women actually want.”
The men are reportedly available for hire either hourly or by the day.

As I said I saw a feature on the site on FoxNews.com yesterday but the site has already been picked up and reported by a lot of other news sources including:
Although the idea for the site recently came to the SF based startup, Frank Schilling registered the .com way back in 2005.
The SF group registered both manservant.co and manservants.co at the end of July under privacy.
it looks like a (soft)p0rn site for rich women … 🙂
You missed the first site to report it… the one the people at Fox discovered it from:

I say stick it to the man and don’t buy the dot com. The “man” in this case being all the dot com loyalists lol. Show them you don’t need the dot com to be successful. Show them that people aren’t as stupid as you think, show them that people will eventually learn that a website is on a .CO extension and not a .COM.
they should of waited for the .servants extension.
@Edward C,
Yours is the best pitch I’ve read, so far, for the new gTLDs; it could actually work, if all of the operators chorus that refrain, and of course agree to be regulated by Commerce Department. That way, Registrants’ rights are secure; if the Registries can guarantee major corporations that nobody could change the game midstream; with Regulation, Registrants can be pitched that such unscrupulous Registry, if they would, they COULD NOT; which is better than status quo, where the pitch is if they could, they WOULD NOT.
Guess I missed my calling in life!
There is still time Joseph.
Buddy system.
I will if you will, Raymond.
Shall we?
