NEW
TOP LEVEL DOMAINS |
| |
| |
| | NEW Top Level Domains | |
| | |
| To date, ICANN has only
passed a resolution to add seven new top-level domains. These are .info,
.biz, .aero, .name, .pro, .museum, and .coop | |
| | | |
| | The current estimate is for
the names to be released between January and June of 2001. ICANN however
has not released the exact time and date. The anticipation for the release
of the new top-level domains is generating tremendous excitement among
those in the Internet community. Registrations are expected to hit record
numbers when the names are released for registration. It may be difficult
for all but the most technologically advanced web user's to get the new
names they desire. | |
| | | |
| | To view the Summaries of the approved
applications online to see if you qualify to apply for a registration
within the new TLD, please follow the following links: | |
| | | |
| | .biz
– This is a general
purpose TLD that is unrestricted. The application is at
www.icann.org/tlds/report/biz4.html | |
| | | |
| | .info

| | .name
– This is a general purpose TLD intended for personal use. The
application is not entirely clear how they will handle new registrations.
The application does state that they are securing all second-level
domains, which will contain "family" names. Although 101Domain
accepts applications for submission within this new TLD, we may only be
able to submit third level domains. We are going to have to work with the
registry to see how these are going to be processed. Please be wary of
registering in this TLD. After further evaluation, 101Domain may choose to
allow customers to transfer .name applications to one of the other new
TLDs. The application is at
www.icann.org/tlds/report/name1.html | |
| | | |
| | .pro
– This is a general purpose, yet restricted to professionals only.
101Domain expects that we will have to contact all customers who apply for
this TLD to get additional information from you that qualifies you for
this TLD. 101Domain will continue to keep up with what is necessary and we
will notify you well in advance for you to be able to get this information
to us so that we can submit this information for you with your
application. Please read the application to see if you think that you will
qualify. 101Domain is not responsible of making sure that you qualify –
we leave it up to you, the customer. The application is at
