Hi all I am pretty new to domain names and i would like to ask few things Does anybody knows how are things going with ICANN project for new gTLD. I‘ve looked at their site but there is no deadline when the new names will be approved and implemented. How do you think this will affect the Internet infrastructure? Will it affect SEO and will it decrease the value of previously registered domains within an old TLD.
No one can exactly no what will happen after the release of the newGTLDs extensions but there are lot of views that there will be changes in the way people will look at domain extension. One thing that I am optimistic is that no amount of newGTLDs released that can affect the King of extension .com You can have a look here the latest information October 2012: ICANN announces new plan for implmentation of nTLDs. Orginal implementation date restored. Spring 2013: Expected date that first nTLDs will be available for public registration Go to name.com to read more details. I hope that answers your questions a bit until you visit the name.coma and click on product and search further. Cheers.
