Thread: What do you believe is the next big TLD?

What do you thing the most profitable and popular TLD will be?

Anything but .COM is an answer...

I believe India is making a bigger impact on the internet hence .IN will be big next..

Your thoughts on the next big TLD?

.in and .asia may be grabbing the news now.
But think about it, most people type in .com when going to a site.
So you have a site ford.in, chances are, most people aint never going to see it.

Yeah that's type-in taffic with ford.in though...

big .in and .asia would be SEO'd

So?
Like the .com, .net and other are not?

No, I see the time coming when it may be that any domain is good.

Yup, good brandable, keywords, seo...anything could happen

Maybe it will actually be .TLD


or...

.LTD
.INC

Hi,

I want .SEX

I think .asia will be the next big thing, but not immediately.

.sex will probably eventually come out...

You can request ICANN though.. :P

And I think .IN will be the next big TLD...!

There are so many TLD's out that anything is possible

Read somewhere soon .web would be out ... sounds nice to me!

Right now the .ME engine is accepting applications for pre-orders (it's a bit spendy though $50 and no guarantee's you can get the domain when they are rolled out)

.com will always be the big one!

.02
db

They wont refund you if you dont get the domain?

I honestly think that .com, .net and .org will remain the biggest.

Some of the new ones are catchy though

Yes, I could see .ltd and .inc coming out for big businesses.

As strange as it may seem, I see .ME being a big success. Why? Think about the marketing potential:

HostingFor.Me
ShoppingFor.Me
etc

Alternatively, assuming ICANN approve .web, I think that will be a pretty good one to watch!

I believe .WEB would be next to .COM.....but .ME could be good also.

Yeah, you basically repeated what RickM said word for word, oh wait, at least you have another post to add to your post count :evil:

Yeah i did not realize that and thats what i believe.

So i dont need you criticizing me about posting and supposedly just saying that "for one more post"

So stop hating

Recent appearance of ME extension (an Internet country code top-level domain that has been assigned to Montenegro) opens new opportunities for Internet users world-wide. Think about it, with a .ME domain, the Internet will, quite simply, be all about YOU. For the first time in Internet history, domain names are essentially personal.

Most of the premium dot COM domain names have been taken for quite some time, while those still for sale may be well beyond the reach of modest marketing budgets. The dot ME extension has generated a lot of excitement because it provides a very intuitive and easy-to-remember web address. Adding to this excitement is the fact that many great dot ME domain names are available. A dot ME domain is ideal to be utilized as both a personalized Web address and as a catchy business marketing tool around the world, initially in English followed by localized and standards compliant International Domain Names in, for example, Spanish, Italian, and Montenegrin.

However, I'm sure that not only second-level .ME domain names, but also some of the third-level .ME domain names (especially those with .ITS.ME extension) will have a great future. Just imagine domains like love.me and lover.its.me...

Yeap, GREAT domain hacks will be available..

Another TLD I think could be good is .TEL...

ex: ben.tel

Not exactly a website, but great for business..

I feel .IN and .ASIA will be the next buzz!

Yup defiantly....excited to see some .me sales when anyone can reg them tho

There are thousands of .com's expiring daily. .com will stay the leader, however there may be a "trend" that leads others in that direction, but probably never over power .com

... and there are 1000's being registered/re-registered daily too

I wonder why it was .com.....I mean back in '85...why did they choose .com over .net or anything?

But yes .com will probably always stay in lead....there may be some close 2nds though
