Generic Top Level Domains News (aka gTLD’s and domain extensions)
Thinking of expanding your web presence by adding another domain? In the early days of the Internet we were limited to .com, ,net, .ca and 3 or 4 more. Today there are over 250 gTLD’s to choose from! Here are the top ten domain extensions and the bottom ten registered in the past 2 weeks (source Tucows). The total number of registrations for that extension is listed beside each one.

Not all domain extensions are available to everyone. Many regional ones have specific rules. For example to register .melbourne (ranked 210) you must have a physical location in the State of Victoria, Australia. However anyone can register .yoga, .party or .hockey. If you have ideas you would like to explore please give us a call. Hmmm… I kind of like the sounds of wilf.rocks.
