The international group that handles "top level"?domains like .com, .xxx and .jp just finished taking?applications from anyone with $185,000 to burn. We've combed the list to see what we can learn about the Worldwide Web in which we live.
Domains with the most potential:
- .lego
- .ninja
- .pets
- .pizza
- .rip
- .unicorn
Domains with the least potential:
- .allfinanzberatung
- .mzansimagic
- .spreadbetting
- .hiv
Fine pairings:
- .rocks and .sucks
- .mom and .dad
- .beer and .wine (also .vodka!)
- .kosher and .halal
- .rugby and .cricket (each more desired than .football)
Domains that support a certain lifestyle:
- .ferrari
- .hermes
- .jewelry
- .landrover
- .rich
- .yachts
??and those for the other side of the socio-economic spectrum:
- .cheap
- .free
- .gallo
- .loans
- .lotto
- .walmart
Further observations:
- Applications for .casino outnumber applications for .charity
- There's .irish and .catholic, but apparently nobody has yet applied for .irishcatholic
- Someone requested .dotafrica, maybe because someone else laid claim to .africa
- TJ Maxx applied for .tjmaxx and, in case you can't type so good, .tkmaxx
These domains each have more than six applications:
- .app
- .art
- .book
- .blog
- .cloud
- .corp
- .cpa
- .design
- .home
- .hotel
- .inc
- .law
- .love
- .llc
- .ltd
- .mail
- .movie
- .music
- .news
- .now
- .online
- .shop
- .store
- .tech
- .vip
- .web
The deadline for the new domain names closed on May 30, 2012, but expect at least a year or two before we see the approval and use of any of these new suffixes.?
