gTLD's Domains

COM / NET & ORG Domain

Don't forget about the names that started it all: .com, .net and .org!
The original gTLDs -- .com, .net and .org -- are still number one. In 2004, there were, on average, 2.5 million new registrations per quarter. These names have worldwide recognition and are still in demand.

The minimum registration term is one year. Registrations are unrestricted under .com and .net . The rules for .org will be changing.

.INFO Domain

.info: give them the name they want.

Did you know that it takes registrants an average of 33 lookups to get the .com that they want? This is not a problem with .info. Give your customers the domain they want now!

.BIZ Domain

.biz: nothing personal, just business.

.biz is a restricted gTLD approved by ICANN. Since domain names registered under .biz must be used for business purposes, the registry predicts the renewal rates for these names will be higher than the rate for .com and other unrestricted TLDs.

.NAME Domain

name--it's for life.

.name is the only gTLD authorized by ICANN exclusively for private individuals. The .name registry is now accepting Landrush registrations in the form of batch submissions that are processed weekly. Starting in May, 2002, the registry will begin accepting real-time registrations.

ccTLD's Domains

.CC Domain

.cc is the ccTLD for Cocos (Keeling Islands), and is also accepted to represent "Chinese Corporation," "Country Club," and others. In fact, .cc has become one of the most popular ccTLDs with over 400,000 domains registered in the first year alone. With most domain names still available, .cc should remain popular over the next several years.

Since there are no restrictions on registrants, anyone can register a domain name with a .cc.

.TV Domain

.tv set a record for the fastest growing ccTLD in October 2000 by registering over 100,000 names in less than six months. .tv is the TLD for the country of Tuvalu and is an open registry.

Anyone can register a domain name under .tv. Most .tv domain names are available for a retail price of $45 per domain year. Domain names can be registered for any term between one and 10 years. Some .tv domain names are considered high profile and are priced separately by the registry.

.CO.UK & ORG.UK Domain

.uk is one of the largest ccTLDs in Europe with more than three million names under management. There are approximately 60,000 registrations per month under .uk.

Domain name registrations are made at the third level.

.CA Domain

Searching for Canada on the Internet? Search .ca!

A .ca domain name strongly links organizations and individuals with Canada. According to a study commissioned by the Canadian Internet Registration Authority, 70 percent of Canadians prefer to shop at .ca Web sites because they know .ca is Canadian. More than 300,000 names have been registered under .ca, since the registry went live in December 2000.

The minimum registration term is one year. Registrants must meet Canadian presence requirements.
