More Problems Crop Up With Universal Acceptance of Top Level Domains - I've often found truth in the famous George Santayana quote, "Those that cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it."

First, a quick refresher: As most CircleID readers know, in the early 2000s, seven new gTLDs were launched: .AERO, .BIZ, .COOP, .INFO, .MUSEUM, .NAME and .PRO. Aside from ... read more ...

Poll: So… Have You Registered a New gTLD Domain Name? - I tried to pre-register two new gTLD domain names – one in .Ventures and one in .Holdings. Prior to securing the domain names, another company bought the .Holdings domain name at a premium price. The .Ventures domain name is currently in a private auction because there were other people or companies who pre-registered the same domain name. I may or may not bid more, so there’s a good chance I won’t end up with any new TLD domain names yet. As of yesterday morning, there are now over ... read more ...
