This post is about a change in technology yet again. For years we have been used to the .com, .net, .org, and so forth. But, according to the International Domain Name Association, that may soon change. Any combination of Latin letters and numbers can be used as an extension. So, a domain name can be .Pepsi or .Coke or any other name. It can also be applied to entire businesses like .bank, or .market. The downside is that to do so will cost about $185,000. I will keep the .com!
This announcement came as a surprise to me and was not on my radar at all so it bears watching. The post is also subject to update and change as this has just been announced and may be subject to error. But the issue raises another question or two. Who gets to make this decision, and who gets paid? Of course, the customer will eventually pay. Stay tuned and I will update/correct this post as soon as verification is discovered.
