No it is not cheap or free ,in fact costs a large amount and takes for ever . ICANN doesn't not "JUST" decide to make new extensions. Sponsored TLD or Your own extension is what you are talking about. Visit the ICANN official website and you can checkout the requirements to get your very own .tld ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/domain-newbies/131332-how-do-you-create-your-own.html Try using that computer you are sitting in front of .Do a Google search for something other than your own name. There is a lot of information on Google and other search engines on the subject of sponsored .TLD's.

![]() | Yes! TLD's are not creatable just like that! One TLD may be used for THOUSANDs of domain names, that's something you don't want to have. .com probably have 70% of all the domains in the world. No one asked for it to be created, but it had to be there. You don't create .km easily just because you may be rich or bill gates would own the ICANN |

![]() ![]() ![]() | Two letter names are country names. I'm pretty sure the only way you are going to get one is to have a country. People can apply for other names. From what I recall there's a $50k application fee, and you have to make a pretty good case for the names existence. And yes, it takes time. Also, .net was created more than a decade before ICANN was formed. |

![]() ![]() ![]() | As mentioned in the link RJ posted, you can create your own extension any time you want. Just create a zone for it and it's done. I actually use this on my VPN to create domains that will only ever be locatable and contactable on the VPN; For security purposes. But there's nothing to stop you from creating new extensions and inviting the whole world to change their root servers to your servers. Aside perhaps for the bandwidth you'd need to have to handle all those queries if people actually took you up on it |

![]() ![]() ![]() | You can create nearly any extension you want on your own name servers. In the past I've made single letter “TLDs” such as .a, and longer ones such as .dingleberries. Give it a try if you like. Go into your network settings and set your name server to 202.67.217.85. Then open your browser and visit: http://www.google.dingleberries/ P.S.: If any suckers who paid for a new net or public root name want to pay me for a dingleberries one I'll do you a great deal |
