Google announced to release 8 new top level domains names (TLDs) and domains with those TLDs available to register May 10th 2023. These domains are released with the intention of industry specific, topic specific when it comes to business. It’s always better if you can give a better idea about your business to your customers before they visit your web space and you can start that from your domain name. The ICANN Organization understood this requirement clearly and that’s why they gave their maximum support to influence the general public to choose industry specific domains without relying on .com, .net or .org.
Following are the 8 new top level domains that are going to be out for general public registration on 10th May 2023.
- .dad
- .phd
- .prof
- .esq
- .foo
- .zip
- .mov
- .nexus
Most of these domains were delegated in 2014 and it took quite a long time to be available to the public.
You might wonder why there is only .dad what about .mom. .Mom TLD or domain extension available to register from 2015. So .dad domain extension got quite a big time to come out.
Domain prices would start from $30 and might get discounts from different registrars.
