Hey everyone, While people are globally moving into the digital age, that obviously means that the web is going to get much larger very soon. Also, every now and again, new top level domains are added, for the fact that with domains dissapearing very fast, and ICAN (I think) still tries to get short and punchy domains available. So, why not think up your own serious top level domains? For example... .CLAN was given a test run a few years ago, but with barely anyone using it, it was taken down. .3D would be a good new TLD, from a very good read in the 3D thread in this board. I personally think that .WEB would be a good one, for websites aimed towards webmasters and other people who work on the web... Your ideas? Note: Domains are constantly being added, don't be afraid to suggest! Although it may not be the best place to do this, it will be a good collection here! I will also add all suitable domain names to this topic for a better archive.
IMHO ".3d" and ".web" are both kind of pointless. ".3d" is just a random characteristic that applies to some things. You might as well have ".brown" or ".rectangular". ".web" is at best redundant. An interesting TLD would be one that refers to something of broad interest. ".travel" was a good proposal in that respect, though it hasn't been utilised much. Similarly, ".eco", ".finance", ".music", and so on may be viable.
In near future you will be able to buy First level domain name. It won't be cheap, but You can get .lia like LiamHamett for example You will have to meet ICANs criteria of course, but it will be possible. For instance now is .xxx for adult sites in progress, but ICAN is quite slow. If You already own adult site on some tld, you can pre-register its .xxx version now. It would be the same for other extensions which will come. Adam
I believe past, present and future is dot.COM, almost a decade after the first .JOBS and I'm not sure how many other new level domains, it's proven all they are ephemeral trends in the domain market.
