New Domain Extensions : Things You Need to Know

New domain extensions are a topic which are of importance for the purposes of Internet marketing, business opportunities, presence on the Web, protection of the brand and of the possibility to activate their custom domain even if the main extensions are available. If you are quite newer to domain names, you can read the basic articles on domain names like How to choose a domain name, List of All Top Level Domains (TLD), Domain Hack (Domain Hack is the unconventional usage of Domain Names like del.icio.us). Now we will see how effective are these new domain extensions, here are some details can not be ignored.

New Domain Extensions : Reservation of New Domain Extensions

Beyond what are the marketing campaigns are running, users should be aware of certain very important issues, before believing that the simple reservation of a name with one of the new domain extensions ensures the ability to record chosen domain effectively. First of all, we need to talk about diversity ! To date, there are still all not confirmed by ICANN, the conditions for obtaining them are being defined. The definitive allocation of these extensions so it is not yet secured.

As reported, an aspect not always apparent to the users, who are convinced that the simple reservation may enable the subsequent recording of the desired domain with one of the new domain extensions. For example, ICANN may decide to award the management of the extension to other register. This would make it impossible for other the providers to sell the extension. Because it is managed online by a competitor. The provider will ask you to make your reservation online via pre-registration which is not binding unless the company decides to support the gTLD to which the user is concerned, on the basis of requests including any restrictions, extra costs and so on .Otherwise, the reservation is lost!

To simplify, we can say that an operator such as 1 & 1, after booking and the actual availability of the new gTLDs, it will ask you to make a binding pre-registration of gTLD domain if that will become part of their list. Pre-registration will be sent to the Registry competent. Arrived here, however pre-registration can not be certain to materialize. In fact, when the new extension is made ??available and is entrusted to a competent registry, the registry responsible must wait until all pre-registrations from all providers are received, compared.

New Domain Extensions : Restrictions for Assignments

Another matter of no small importance is that no one knows yet what exactly what rules and restrictions will be adopted for the individual registers as for the number of new domain extensions. For example, to register a hotels name, you may have to prove that you are the owner of one or more hotels, as well as maybe other criterions. Mail address could be allocated only to the persons who provide e-mail services. In the same way, rome could be activated only by the residents in the city, while  .sex only can be used by those who proves to be an operator in the industry of adult entertainment. No one is able to tell in advance which rules will be implemented for the actual allocation of new domain extensions and this uncertainty denatures the activities of those who would want to grab the domains as preview and then speculate on their resale.
