Soon you will be able to register your .web, .movie, .hotel, or .shop generic top level domains.
These new gTLDs are going to change the way you present and promote your business on the web. You want to stand out on the Internet and strengthen your company's online presence, and a memorable, attractive and marketable generic top level domain (gTLDs) can do that for you.
From late 2012 we will begin to offer these new gTLDs for you to register and pre-register as we lead the UK with this domain revolution.
.brand domains or generic top-level domains (gTLDs) will soon become a company's new Internet address. This means that .brand will replace the .com, .co.uk, or .net domain extensions.
From the start of 2012, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) opened up the new gTLDs registration thus allowing companies to register a top level domain name and secure their business on the net. This opens the door to hundreds of great domain extensions. Brands can register branded domains such as .canon or .apple or more generic but still relevant domains such as .movie, .hotel, .shop.
Fancy having your own .hotel, .movie, .shop, .bank, .music, .web, .berlin or any other new gTLDs that come to mind? Well register your interest now and we will let you know as soon as you can pre-register these fantastic new gTLDs.
ICANN have already got the ball rolling and the window for new user registrations through ICANN's TLD Application System (TAS) has now closed, but there is still loads happening...
Application window Closes - The last day ICANN will accept applications for new gTLDs
"Reveal Day" - ICANN will publicly post all gTLD character strings that have been applied for and who has applied for them. This is also when anyone can submit comments or formal objections to any of the new gTLD applications.
Initial Evaluation Begins - The period of Initial Evaluation begins and those who have applied for gTLDs are evaluated to see if there may be technical, operational, financial or organisational issues with the new gTLDs.
Results of Initial Evaluation - The period of Initial Evaluation period ends and ICANN posts whether any gTLDs that have been applied for have passed or failed the evaluation. GTLDs that have failed can request an Extended Evaluation.
Last day to request Extended Evaluation - This is the last day applicants can request Extended Evaluation which allows for a further exchange of information to clarify applicant information. Extended Evaluation is only available for applicants who failed certain reviews in the Initial Evaluation.
Later phases for complex applications - This last phase is to start resolving issues in complex applications. A complex application for example could be if more than one party has applied for the same gTLD. In this phase attempts to resolve such contentions begin.
Imagine you had one of these new gTLDs such as .secure at the end of the URL for your online data security business. Think how much more credible your business would appear and how easy you could build your customers' trust.
Or how many more potential customers you can bring to visit your site when you have a location based domain extension such as .berlin or .nyc. gTLDs are an excellent way to set you apart on the Internet, build customer trust and increase revenue.
