Tucows is best known among the general consumer audience for two things: 1) its quirky name, and 2) its huge library of downloadable software or "shareware." Launched in 1993 as a software download site, Tucows has now made a name for itself as a leading wholesale domain name registrar of .com, .net and .org and has well over two million domain names under management in its system. Tucows' Software Library has also grown to become one of the most popular sites on the Internet with more than 100 million page views per month. Approximately six million unique visitors access Tucows' library of 30,000 rated and reviewed software titles, most of which are available on a "freeware" or "shareware" basis.
