Custom Top Level Domain Names

admin — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 00:54:06 +0000

ICANN voted to allow custom TLD’s ( Top-level Domains). Vista is unrelated, but you get the picture. This happened back in June. Looks like they could cost anywhere from $50,000+ or $100,000+ . Now anyone with enough money and resources can create their own custom domain extension. You can see where this can get very chaotic especially for company branding. This forces companies to register these before cyber-squatters get to them. I just don’t know about this. It’s not like an average person can afford these.

“There are already interested consortiums wanting to establish city based top level domain names like .nyc, .berlin and .paris” – Practical Web Design Magazine.

The first applications will be out April or May 2009.

Can any good come of this? What do you think?

As many of you may have heard, Microsoft has been hard at work trying to give what the web designers and developers have been asking for; a standards compliant browser. It looks like IE8 is going to be released sooner than anyone has expected. A lot of us are excited about this. I found out recently that Microsoft has released a beta version for web designers and developers to test out. Visit the Internet explorer 8 beta download page.
