Companies Vie For .names In Internet Domain Expansion - It's likely the biggest virtual real estate expansion this year that you've never heard of — a massive growth of the Internet that, like the land rushes of yesteryear, will have winners, losers and possibly unintended consequences. The generic top-level domain (gTLD), the last portion of an Internet address, such as .com, .org, .edu or .gov, will be dramatically expanded. Companies already have lined up to haggle, bargain and — if need be — fight over them. Currently, there are roughly 200 ... read more ...

Protect Your Brand From Cybersquatting - Right now, we are witnessing what an executive at the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) called “the biggest change to the Internet since its inception.” As ICANN begins launching new generic top-level domain (TLD) extensions, we’ll no longer be limited to addresses ending with .com, .net, and other already familiar TLDs.

CNBC “New Internet domains are coming, and small biz needs to be wary” - I regularly receive calls from prospective clients that are at different phases of starting a business. Often they will have chosen a business name, filed the articles of incorporation, hired and attorney and/or leased office space, but will not have registered a domain name. When it comes time to register a domain name, they insist on only dot COM domains. They would rather have a longer dot COM then a shorter alternative extension. It will be interesting to ... read more ...

Why small biz needs to watch new Internet domains - Businesses have the option of registering a website that is important to their brand before the top-level domain opens to the public. For example, Pizza Hut could buy the second-level domain "PizzaHut.pizza," before the generic domain ".pizza," opened up to the public. But with more than 1,000 top-level domains expected to come to market, purchasing every iteration of a Web address is almost impossible and can be incredibly expensive, said Troy Larson, an attorney at Ballard Spahr who focuses ... read more ...

Single Letter New gTLD Purchase Post Mortem - Shortly after Aaron Strong commented that he bought the single letter x.Ventures domain name, I purchased three single letter new gTLD domain names: n.Ventures, n.Holdings, and g.Holdings. I later learned that a whole bunch of single letter new gTLD domain names were registered, perhaps even all of those that were available to purchase. In light of this, I thought it would be appropriate to write a brief post mortem to reiterate why I made my purchases and my thoughts on buying new TLD domain ... read more ...

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." That's an apt warning for what is currently happening — again — with the hundreds of new generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs) that are launching ... and failing to work as expected on the Internet. 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 ...
