The Expansion of New
Top-Level Domains

print page Share RSS

ICANN has approved a resolution calling for the expansion of generic
Top-Level Domains (gTLDs), which will allow companies to turn their own brands into domains (.company) or to create broad product groups such as .car, .sports or .bank. This initiative will fundamentally change the Internet and the way in which we all do business online. How to address gTLDs is a major strategic decision for every corporation – whether you decide on an offensive or defensive approach.

The dotBrand Resource Center provides you with all of the most recent news and information you’ll need in order to develop the right generic
Top-Level Domain strategy for your corporation.
