The .SHOPPING domain is being put in place of streamlining the process of finding online shops that match the user’s needs. There will be no mysteries when a user accesses a .SHOPPING domain because the site’s contents and the user’s relationship to them will be obvious: goods and services for sale.

Dot Mobile New gTLD

All of a sudden it seems like just about everything can be done on the go, and the market has adapted just as quickly; businesses that provide all their services for and through mobile devices are forming a dynamic, viable industry. The .MOBILE new gTLD could be of tremendous value to other individuals and businesses.

From the Red Sox to some of the world’s most renowned colleges and universities, Boston has solidified itself as a hub for innovation, technology, education and culture. The .BOSTON new gTLD will serve the city’s huge population by further propping up the city’s industry and culture that residents have come to know and love.

More than seventy five percent of adults in the United States own a laptop or desktop computer. Given the huge growth in the digital market, the .DIGITAL domain will be prime real estate for companies specializing in products like cameras, MP3 players and personal computers. No matter how you use .DIGITAL, one thing is for sure: Customers will know right away what you’re selling on your site, making them more likely to visit and shop.


With the advent of the Internet, the news landscape has transformed into a living, breathing network of information kept rapidly abuzz by everything from 24-hour news channels to globetrotting journalists armed only with temerity and a Twitter account. So much of the information we send and receive daily could be considered news, that there is scarcely a limit to the types of content a .NEWS domain could represent.

New gTLDs Added: .boston, .zuerich, .amsterdam

Posted on November 8, 2012 by Courtney Mirenzi

We’ve recently updated out New Generic Top-Level Domain (new gTLD) Pre-Registration Program to include some highly requested extensions. Our program is continually expanding, so be sure to keep an eye on our main page as well as our blog.

.BOSTON will serve as a vital resource for the Greater Boston area when it comes to culture, technology and education. From the Red Sox to some of the world’s most renowned colleges and universities, Boston has solidified itself as a hub for innovation, technology, education and culture. The capital of Massachusetts is also the tenth largest city in the United States with a population of over 4.5 million in the Great Boston area. The .BOSTON new gTLD will aim to serve the city’s huge population by further propping up the city’s industry and culture that residents have come to know and love. Pre-Register .BOSTON.

With the .ZUERICH domain, the city of Zurich will be able to strengthen its brand domestically and internationally with a designated online space for everything from cultural events, businesses and government organizations. People and organizations can also get hold of a .ZUERICH domain to better reach out to the city’s flowering culture, friendly people and unparalleled business opportunities. Pre-Register .ZUERICH.

The development of the new gTLD for .AMSTERDAM will build on the charms of the city. Business, city services, tourism, and museums will all benefit from having a city-specific new gTLD that’s authentically Amsterdam. A relatively young city by European standards, Amsterdam was incorporated at the beginning of the 14th century. From the beginning, dams and polders have held out water and expanded the land area available to the citizens, and today more than 2 million people live in the greater Amsterdam area. Pre-Register .AMSTERDAM.
