February 22nd, 2009 — Domain Extensions
NeuStar, the organisation which runs the .biz domain extension, amongst others, has applied to domain regulator ICANN to allow one- and two-letter domain names for the .biz TLD.
Tim Switzer, VP of registry services at NeuStar explains that the introduction of the new domains will help “to increase competition in the marketplace and to raise awareness of the .biz brand.”
Many commentators reckon it badly needs it as it has failed to make an impact on the domain or business communities since its introduction in 2001. In 2008, it was the eigth most popular TLD, behind country codes .de and .co.uk, with the field headed, as always, by the .com.
February 22nd, 2009 — Domain Extensions
The much-discussed free-for-all in top level domains is likely to arrive in December this year, the Financial Times reports, for a cool $185,000 each.
The sea change in domains, which will allow companies to have their own TLD such as .nike and .sony, has been delayed several times by controlling organisation ICANN. The FT cites the minefield companies will have in protecting their trademarks and, more importantly, how consumers will remember what comes after the dot as well as what comes before it.
Until then, dot com will remain king of domain TLDs. Many in the industry reckon it always will, as the introduction of otherextensions like .biz, .ws and .info have failed to make a dent in the globally-recognised .com.
