The way you think about domain names as a business opportunity is about to change radically, with the upcoming launch of hundreds of new gTLDs! What the ‘new gTLDs’ are and how you can leverage them to get maximum profit from your business?
New gTLDs – The Game Changers
| Fact | Problems | Solution | Opportunity |
| Over 200 Million Domain names registered on just 22 gTLDs | – Availability crunch – Long domain names – Domain extensions adding no value to domain name | ICANN announces hundreds of shorter, more relevant & recognizable new TLDs | – Increase your revenue with the launch of 700+ gTLDs – Reduce lead wastage on your website |
With 45 new gTLDs ready to be launched in their Sunrise Period on 16th January, 2014, there are some truly exciting times ahead!
Here is how you benefit:
With new gTLDs you can register domains that are:
- More relevant
- Shorter and easy-to-remember
- Better categorized (by industry, reputation etc.)
- Reflective of and contributing to a coherent brand identity
- Enhanced credibility – in case of industry specific extensions that verify documentation
Registering a domain under a TLD with the above advantages can help boost your market exposure and give you a competitive edge.
For example, why let you settle for wildlifephotography.com, when you can offer him wildlife.photography or wildlife.photos, or even wildlife.camera!
