Domainers like Mark of Domainpicks.com, Shane of DomainShane.com, & Jason of JasonThompson.co everyday publishes unique good quality expiring domains available through auction at major domain aftermarkets. They usually start with a little article about domains or personal and then list names.
I regularly follow their blog and from today onwards I’m going to include this little stuff too in my blog before analyzing the 2 and 3 letter .com evaluation series.
Today, before I list the ‘I’ letter about 2 letter .com – I would like to question the branding of ICANN’s for the New gTLDs.
All new domain extensions which will be coming soon are branded as “New gTLDs”
The term new is somewhat seems to be not appropriate to me. They should have branded these New gTLDs as New gTLD2 or simply GTLD2. As already we have witnessed gTLD or gTLD1 in the form of .com, .net, .info, .org, .asia, .biz and so on.
The New gTLD term will be appropriate for the time being but would it be fair to call them New gTLDs after their launch or after a year or two passes? I doubt. Because nothing remains “New.” Would you agree with me?
Anyway, Here is the complete ‘I’ series of domains under .com extension. All would be for sale domains are highlighted in bold.
