nGTLD

The next generation of the Internet is coming.

At the beginning of 2012, ICANN launched an ambitious program aimed at implementing new generic Top-Level Domains (new gTLDs) on the Internet. In addition to the familiar .com, .net, .org extensions the new gTLD shall add another 500+ extensions (.web, .shop, .film, .blog) to the domain name space opening up a whole new world of opportunities.

Many of the new gTLDs will be much more relevant to your Business. These included applications for:

geographic terms (e.g. .nyc, .madrid, . BCN .london)

generics (e.g., .shop, .blog,  .film, .fashion., .sports)

brands that applied for a TLD in their own names.

 

WDD.2014 will have a special nGTLD Showcase!
