Introduction
Since the first introduction of .com in 1985, through to the introduction of .xxx in 2011 and .post in 2012, there have been 22 new top level domains released.
However, in February 2014 the floodgates were opened and a staggering 617 new TLDs are soon to be released. Now you can get domains with fully descriptive TLDs such as .clothing, .photography and .technology.
At the time of writing over 70 new TLDs have become available, and more will become available each week until all 617 have become available by mid-2015.
The new domains will now be possible are a brilliant opportunity for internet marketers. In this report we’ll guide you through the facts about the new TLDs as well as outline some key ways to take advantage of this new situation.
What is a Top Level Domain (TLD)?
To help illustrate, let’s imagine you own a company called ‘Fat Weasel’. And your domain name is www.fatweasel.com.
The top level domain (often refered to by the acronym TLD) is the part that follows your specific chosen name. So in our example, the TLD is .com, which is the most common (and often most desirable) TLD.
The TLD was originally designed to represent the type of website that resides at that domain. Some examples of this:
- .com for commercial entities such as companies.
- .gov for goverment affiliated organisations.
- .edu for educational institutions, such as schools, libraries and universities.
- .org for organisations, such as charities.
Some of TLDs require more stringent applications and qualifying criteria (not just anyone can create a .gov website for example).
Once the internet began to take off, and became a global phenomenon, TLDs were introduced to designate the country of origin of the website (known as ccTLDs). This allowed for easier locally relevant search results to be provided, and provided for global brands to have local websites in specific countries they operate in.
Some examples of country-specific TLDS:
- .ca for sites originating in Canada.
- .es for sites originating in Spain.
In some circumstances, the TLD is made up of two parts, in order to create sub-categories.
- .co.uk for commercial sites in the United Kingdom.
- .gov.uk for government sites in the United Kingdom.
- .ac.uk for academic sites in the United Kingdom.
- .com.au for commercial sites in Australia.
TLDs were originally kept to two or three characters in order to make sure domain names were not overly long and cumbersome to type in.
In recent years, in became clear that core TLDs had become over-subscribed. This meant that finding a well-formed and not overly long domain name was extremely difficult.
New TLDs were introduced such as:
- .co (A new dedicated TLD for companies)
- .mobi (Specifically for mobile-optimized sites)
- .xxx (Specifically for adult-themed sites)
