The Launch of New gTLD domains

Heard it somewhere "Everything that can be Invented has been Invented". Not quite though.

This one is from the ever changing world of Internet. To be precise, it's about the new gTLD domains.


There was a time when a website was mainly known by .COM ending and this new thing has created an all together different segment or rather should I say it would pre-define the kind of site that we would be entering. A categorized/organized way of search results will be delivered. The best possible domains were gone long ago and here I see the opportunity for companies to make big bucks. Some of the big names created a line for themselves and some opened new doors for the general public.


With the launch of the new gTLD domains. There is a never before rush to claim the new domains. Most of these are cybersquatters who will sell these fancy website names at an inflated price and then there are some genuine cases where people really want to own something really cool. This starts a new war which will allow nobodies to become somebody. People will hoard these domains and will be buying big house/better cars and a lifestyle to envy for. All they need to do is to choose the right set of domains and they are ready to fleece a big brand working hard to protect their online identity.


The importance of these domains can understood as these domains are linking you to their customers industry wise. It's not a far when you see the .COM era coming to an end and everything is categorized. 


Having blabbed alot above on how important these gTLDs would be for the companies. There are some protections available as well. Preperation is better than taking actions to control damage which is irreversible.


There is a lot more to be said but lets wait till the next time and see how the world is preparing itself against what is most important to them. Their Name .....
