Southside Electric Cooperative, Inc. has joined .coop, the Internet domain exclusively for cooperatives and credit unions. The new domain .coop works just like .com and .org, but .coop is better. It can work as an alternative to .com and .org, or in tandem with them. It gives cooperatives a chance to differentiate themselves online and get the web addresses they need for a strong online presence addresses they couldn't get in the crowded .com domain. Southside Electric Cooperative's services include interactive voice response system, security lighting, speakers bureau, third party notification, and wiring and electrical consultative services.
