Domain names have publicly accessible records including the owner’s personal information. Details such as name, address, city, state, zip, country, phone number and email address may find mention on the WhoIs record. The information shows when the domain name was registered, when it will expire, where the website is hosted as well as other technical details.
Current status of the new gTLDs
New gTLD’s Explained
ICANN, the organization that administers (rather than registers) domain names has been working for several years on extending the Top Level Domain names (TLD’s). TLDs are extensions such as .com, .org or .net. At the start of the process there were 22 TLD’s. This is going to be expanded to upwards of 1400, over the next few years. For the first time, domain names can also be in non- Latin scripts, such as Arabic or Chinese. As of January 2014, over 100 new generic -TLD’s have been added to the IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) Root Zone Database. From February 2014, the new gTLD’s were rolled out to the general public, to register as second-level domains, including:

Generic is increasingly becoming the last adjective companies and organizations would apply to the expanding TLD landscape. As more and more TLD applications receive ICANN approval and make their way down the pipeline, groups whose products and aims might overlap with several different TLD monikers must give serious thought to which categories they will choose to align themselves and their brand. In today’s highly fragile marketplace, how a business decides to specify its TLD could very well be the difference between success and flounder.
