As someone who watches the numbers of domain name registrations across all TLD’s everyday I have to say .Com is rocking and seems to be getting stronger by the day.

Today 5 1/2 months later .com has topped 114.4 Million registrations (14,408,441) with a net add of over 37,000 registrations yesterday and over 30K the day before according to RegistrarStats.com

Amazon spende 4,6 milioni di dollari per assicurarsi il suffisso .buy - La liberalizzazione dei generic Top Level Domain (gTLD) stabilita dall'ICANN nel corso del 2011 e resa operativa nei mesi passati sta portando alcuni grossi colossi a battagliare a suon di milioni per assicurarsi la proprietà di suffissi URL che possano rappresentare un elemento di valore aggiunto al proprio business e al proprio marchio.
Recentemente l'ICANN ha indetto un'asta per l'assegnazione di tre gTLD particolarmente significativi, dato che le varie compagnie che ne hanno fatto richiesta ... read more ...

Amazon schnappt Google die .buy-Domains weg -
"Preislich ist die Weste natürlich unwirtschaftlich, jedoch wollen meine Hühner sie nichtmehr hergeben. Verarbeitung gut, Gewicht und Passgenauigkeit bekommen 5 Sterne.
Seither ist keines meiner Hühnchen mehr überfahren worden und selbst wildes Getier vergreift sich nichtmehr. Bahnübergänge, Ampeln, Rollstuhlfahrer- Dies ist jetzt keine Gefahr mehr! Keine besorgten Nächte in denen man nochmals im Schuppen nachsieht, ob die Hühner vom Feiern zurück sind." (Kuchen)

I.buy, You.buy, WeAll.Buy for Amazon -
Amazon was the high bidder for the .buy Top Level Domain. That means if you want to register the domain i.buy, for example, you'll have to go through Amazon's registry process - assuming it makes that particular domain available.
We're all used to web addresses that end in .com, .org, or .net, for instance - those extensions are called Top Level Domains. But ICANN, the entity set up in 1998 to manage Internet names, made the decision to launch "generic Top Level Domains" (gTLDs), which set off a ... read more ...

While the term “top-level domain” (TLD) may not be familiar to the average web surfer, it is a core part of the domain name system (DNS) that the internet ... read more ...
