New gTLD Domain Name Extension – Now Cash & Carry

If you have always dream of having your own gTLD, a dream that was virtually impossible before, your prayers have been answered because it is now possible to have your own gTLD, so technically, I cam have my very own .temi domain extension name space. This landmark in domain name gTLD naming is made possible by the The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (Icann), members of ICANN voted to allow this free for all in gTLD creation.

From next year, provided you have £114,000 to bung ICANN, have technical capacity to run your own TLD including policy to protect trademark and copyright owners interest, you could be allowed to run your own gTLD. The new deregulation by ICANN is sure to increase the number of existing gTLD domain name extension far beyond the 22 that currently exist. One should spare though for the owner of .xxx gTLD domain name who campaign and spent tons of money to have the domain extension approved by ICAANN, they could have waited till next year and get it on the cheap.

Before you start raiding your piggy bank in the hope that you will fnd £114,000 to start your own gTLD you should consider the cost of putting a proposal together or ICANN, setting up the infrastructure, having an abuse department that run 24-7 , 365 days a year and you will realise that ICANN fee is probably the lower of the cost you need to think of if you want to run your own gTLD.
