New top level domains

In the next month or two, new generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs) are being released. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) will be offering more than 1000 new gTLDs planned for public release starting February this year.

The intention is to give users and consumers more choice, whilst allowing for a more stable and secure future for the internet.

Essentially this means that you have more choice, and you’ll be able to put your business name in front of a wider range of TLDs.

Many of these new gTLD’s are often industry specific such as .builders .coffee .florist or .clothing.
