    You can create your own extensions..only icann can (lol that sounds wierd) there is a application fee of 50000$ or 20000$ which is non refundable to apply to start your own tld. But only if they approve it u can get the rights

    Has ICANN accepted any applications for custom TLDs yet? I remember seeing that they had started accepting applications, but have yet to see any of the new extensions.

    Also, if memory serves me correctly, you need to actually run your own servers to support your TLD. If you ask me, this is a pipe dream unless you've got a few money sacks with dollar signs on them.
