    Default Domain Names Technology

    Woho, in 2009 everyone will be able to register their own domain name extension.

    Instead of .com you could register .anything, like .google, .nowakfilip, .webtalkforums.

    But the prices will be starting from millions of dollars from those domain name extensions.

    I also heard about this (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/27/te...6ef&ei=5087%0A)

    What does this mean for all us webmasters? Is it good or bad?

    This is such a massive change I cannot even imagine what effects this will have.

    Yeah, that's true. And also theses extensions may be great coz as benjamin had mentioned here, they can be used as search.yourname or music.yourname or something like that. That will be a great idea indeed...

    But costing in millions, that's too much...! I wonder who would buy it other than companies like Google, Yahoo and other reputed ones...!

    What about country/city names, e.g:

    .australia
    .canada
    .japan

    etc.......

    .sydney
    .chicago
    .tokyo

    etc.......

    It will be interesting to see what other ideas people will have.

    Country wise names will also be useful. Like, for the government, it'll be like, gov.India or gov.Australia and suchways... Also, they can be used for many such words like sports, finance, education and all such name...!

    Yeah but I don't get what is wrong with gov.au and gov.in. It is the same thing. It's even shorter..

    They will probably cost different amounts. Dot casino, poker, creditcards etc. will probably be on the big bucks tier, while other less searched for keywords will probably be on a cheaper tier.

    Methinks so too.

    The only upside of this is I can think of is making the general public more aware of the other 200 odd extensions that exist right now.

    Dot unicorns will probably be in the highest tier. Just think:

    Yeah, it will be so much confusion that people won't be able to remember anymore domain names.

    Most of the time right now you have .com and then on each domain anme it could be .anything.

    You could remember the beginnign of the domain __________. but then you won't remember the end of the domain name .__________

    So, that will be really confusing.

    Hurley4540 added 0 Minutes and 37 Seconds later...

    It will also make .com more popular.

    Default The 'create your own tld'

    At first, I thought it was a dumb idea, however after being sarcastic on Namepros and made a comment, I think this could be a good idea.

    Take for example the many possibilities of .CITY's...like:

    .boston

    Now this could be very good because there can be:

    vist.boston
    food.boston
    drinks.boston
    airport.boston
    clubs.boston

    ETC, this could really help narrow and make searches easier....this could make the 100k(That is what the rumored price is, not millions, not 10k!) price for your own tld a reasonable one.

    HOWEVER, I only see potential in .CITY's ... not some other ones that could come of this. IMO .citys and a few others will only be decently popular.

I remember zombo.com because it is catchy, there is no reason I wouldn't be able to remember zombo.amusement if I thought that was catchy also.

    That's rubbish thought up by a company called new.net
    You need to install a browser add-on to visit these domains. What it does is take your url (domain.xxx) and add on .new.net at the end... so, your actual url is domain.xxx.new.net

    Yes but you have to read all their adverts carefully to find this out. I didnt know whether to put up that address or not.
