Have more questions? We’re not surprised, revolutions can be a confusing time. Here’s a few things that might help.
Yes, in 2012 there was an initial offering of web extensions (known as Top-Level Domains), and over 1,200 new .somethings have already joined the internet.
There are over 1,200 new TLDs spread across three broad categories; corporate TLDs such as .apple, .bmw and .nfl; city specific TLDs such as .dubai, .barcelona and .capetown; and entrepreneurial TLDs such as .art, .bet & .cafe.
TLDs are granted under the authority of the Internet Corporate for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the global regulator of the Internet. ICANN is a completely independent, multi-stakeholder lead, non-profit entity based in California, USA.
