ICANN introduces .BRAND top level domains

ICANN had recently launched the all porn top level domain that is .XXX and now ICANN in their meeting at Singapore decided to introduce .BRAND top level domain. Well it actually means that the company can create a top level domain of their any brand like .COKE or may be .INTEL.

Now after this news an individual would be able to register domains like .kid , .toy, .nyc etc…

Application forms  for the creation of new top level domains will be available in January of 2012. But the main question will the introduction of new TLD’s affect the values of .COM’s. My answer to this question is that it will still depend on the end user whether they want to spend millions on a .COM or register a new domain in one of theses new extensions. This will definitely slow down the sales of domains among the resellers and other domain auction houses like SEDO or TDNAM.

Is this the end of domaining?

Book your DOT XXX now

.XXX is most controversial TLD ever. Some of the advocates out there are in favor of the launch of this new TLD as it will be easier for parents to block the access to porn websites by simply blocking all the websites ending in TLD DOT XXX. On the other hand some see this move as a negative one, according to them if ICANN approves this TLD than it will give porn industry a legal license which they think is utterly wrong.

According to a poll conducted by CNN, 83 percent of the 240,000 people are in favor for the launch of this TLD.

But after long discussion on this topic, ICANN ultimately approves the launch of the DOT XXX. ICANN had recently appointed ICM Registry for the management of the brand new TLD that is .XXX. ICM is expected to make huge profit from domain registrations as they are expecting 3 to 5 million domain registrations.

If you really want a .XXX badly, than you can pre-reserve it right now here.
