The Right Domain Name for Your Business Might Be Just Around the Corner

The web as we know it is changing. A huge revolution is underway that will drastically alter the way we experience the internet. Is your business ready?

We’re talking, of course, about the plethora of new domain name extensions rolling out! For years website owners have been dealing with a dwindling supply of short, easy-to-remember domain names because so many .com’s and .net’s were bought up.

Starting now, though, you can choose from hundreds of brand new extensions tailor made to help potential customers searching the web find businesses like yours.

How Do They Work?

The days of limited choice about your website’s domain name are over.

With the gradual rollout of more than 700 new domain extensions, the internet is opening up like never before. If you really wanted TopNotchTennis.com but it was taken, now you can register TopNotch.tennis and customers will know exactly what they’re getting when they click on your link.

Here are some examples of what you can expect:

Business: These domain extensions relate to a vertical or an industry. Examples: .app, .shop, .ventures, and .lawyer.

Geographic: Anything related to a region or other geographical location like a city, country, or even continents. Examples: .tokyo, .irish, and .africa.

Community: These extensions deal with any type of community like a group, organization, club, or any other gathering. Examples: .fitness, .tennis, and .club.

Generic: There are even tons of extensions that don’t necessarily fit into a sub-genre. Examples: .free, .fun, .ninja, and .win.

These are just a small sample of the new domain extensions that will follow the handful already available for pre-registration (.luxury, .build, .uno, and .menu). Start brainstorming now so you can get the name and extension you want.
