New TLDs - Is There Any Real Benefit?
pigdawg writes "What is the purpose? What is the real benefit of new top level domains like .travel, .biz and .xxx? I don't believe these new TLDs will free up more names in .com or .org. Do they really think that orbitz.com will exchange their domain name to become orbitz.travel? Is the mostfrequenttypo.com porn site going to go legit and register under some new .xxx name? Again and again I keep coming to the same conclusion: given that many people/companies register their name in every TLD, it's all about generating more revenue for the registrars. What are your opinions on this subject?"
Definantly part of the idea was to up revenue , but they also did it to give people more options as to the domain name . .xxx , but it gives the big names ,well the more honest the chance .
,but it would be nice if they could use that revenue to sort out many of the problems within the organisations
I dont really see all the scum sites (not that all porn is scum , only the typo sites etc) moving off to the
I dont think there is anything wrong with them trying to drum up revenu
The only things certain in war are Propaganda and Death. You can never be sure which is which though
