Have an extra $150,000 lying around? If so, you can have your own personalized domain extension…you know, the part after the dot in a web address. ICANN, the governing body for all things Internet had a public meeting in Paris last month where they approved the new guidelines that will pave the way for the creation of hundreds, if not thousands of new domain extensions. Various registrars will probably be buying these extensions with the hopes that you and I will be interested in buying “info.web,” or “info.blog,” or “info.news.”
While some domain extensions like dot biz and dot info have tried make an impact, dot com has continued to prevailed as the most coveted domain extension. However, this new foray may just give web developers and marketers an interesting outlet.
