So you know how everyone is trying to predict the new .com and a lot of people thought that .co could possibly be the new .com. Well I guess that did not quite pan out because technically .co is still a ccTLD.
So that got me to thinking if maybe there was one that people had not thought of yet. Some of the top domainers in the world seem to think that .web might be the next one in line but personally I never cared for that because www already stands for world wide web so basically you would have world wide web businessname.web. Just kind of sounds wrong to me and I'm not sure if it is really the new .com.
So with the .com availability becoming more and more scarce what do you think will be the next big boom?
Now we are not looking for a replacement for .com but a prediction or suggestion for a new complimentary extension.
So upon some Looooooooooooooooooooong reflection I think I might have stumbled across a couple of great ones. I think it's only because I am a domainer that these came to mind and most ordinary folks would not think of it.
Here we go....
.com and the new complementary extension .dom (as in domain)
That would be my first choice, my second choice would be...
.com and the new complementary extension .dn (as in domain name)
In all the time I have looked at similar topics I have not seen anyone mention .dom but it almost makes sense that this could be a viable extension that both domainers and the general public could be happy with.
So what do you think? Could .dom or .dn be a possibility?
If not please list you favorite choice for a new world wide extension that would be your choice.
PS. To everyone thinking of flaming this topic with .com is king and similar content please refrain from that because I will ask a mod to delete it and keep everyone on topic. This topic is to discuss a viable extension that could handle the overflow from .com and the possibility of another REAL domain gold rush with another extension.
