new gtlds So my list of all the new top level domains is incomplete

No
i would like to know...

Hope this helps ...
http://www.europeandomaincentre.com/pages/new-gtlds/which-are-the-new-tlds

I use these two:
http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/delegated-strings
http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db

There are so many of them to mention here, some are released for public registration, and so many still waiting to be released for public

Check this from Iana, thanks to both @F00lu and @kostaki from earlier posts

Well I harvested some here to make it easy for the eyes, however be aware that many are still not available for public registration. Please correct any repetition found..
The list is also not ordered alphabetically

Over-saturation is a big problem for the new Gs. Here we are as domain investors working with domains day in and day out and we still come across extensions we have never heard of. The other day I came across a .life site, and I'm like "Okay, well I guess this is a new G." If we can't even keep track of them, how can we expect the general public to use them without confusion.

It looks even more confusing when you look at that list. I had a quick scan and couldn't see .com or .uk. Maybe it's just a list of new extensions, but when did "new" start? Also, I noticed that co.com was in that list - isn't that a second level name, and not a TLD?

Just like co.uk it's now considered almost a TLD!

and they've changed that by allowing .uk on it's own.

Technically speaking, and that the important part that Google Search treats all the "new" TLDs just like the old gTLDs..that's great

I think the whole system has gone mad. Why do we need .accountant and .accountants? To my mind .acc would have been the best, but I expect that exists as well.

A lot of these new domains are owned by companies. Like there's one called ".staples". I mean Staples Inc. already has its one website for products and that's all it needs. Somehow it gets its own top level domain. Nic.staples basically just goes to a page saying it's just going to copy its website so that's totally useless. Staples doesn't manufacture products. Staples doesn't do any online services. Staples has one website and that's it.

A lot of these top level domains are junk like this. Why did ICANN get these companies top level domains that they have no use for? Some companies have several that are just junk they will never use but ICANN will never get rid of. Even obscure companies have their own top level domains like .schwarze, which are just totally useless.

They also have a bunch of domains with singular and plural both like .review and .reviews so people can impersonate another site. .review is way cheaper to buy.

Even worse, SC Johnson got a ton of top level domains .AFAMILYCOMPANY, .DUCK, .GLADE, .OFF, .RIGHTATHOME, .RAID, and .SCJOHNSON for completely no need. Basically so each of their websites is now a top level domain. It's just insane.

And .duck, .glade, .off, and .raid could be useful for websites.
dynasty.duck

.Raid especially would be popular
habbo.raid
4chan.raid
etc
Instead one single brand of insecticide which quite possibly one day they might stop making or change its name has a domain completely for no reason.



There's .wtc top level domain but they made it so some company, World Trade Centers Association, Inc., can wave it around and not let anyone use it. If it was open to the public, then a ton of 9/11 conspiracy sites would be using it. Alex Jones would move a lot of his websites there.

That's another duplicate too. That's a real pain because people can then basically copy your site with the other variation in letter. accountant also is bad because it's long and easy to misspell. They already have .money.

And they have .cancerresearch instead of simply .cancer
