From 2010 the internet corporation for assigned names and numbers (ICANN) will liberalise the market for domain names.

Currently all addresses end in the extension such as .com and .co.uk etc

But new rules mean your domain can now end with anything!

What are the benefits? Small business can associate itself with anything like locations or even theme based domains.

So for example if we so choose then we can launch .rolex

Question: What is needed to set up this registry?
Answer: Money: The entry costs for each TLD is $185,000 dollars plus you need the technical competence to run the service.

Will someone launch the domain extention .rolex

I cant afford it but if it was done then of course I would register

365drills.rolex

Anyone reading this and who is ready to get the .rolex domain (or the .forum domain) should go over to icann.org with a cheque book at the ready!

I'm not sure there is the appetite for it but if 1000 people got together then the set up cost is about £125 each.

Or maybe its just easier to stick to the dot coms and the dot co dot uk format?

At the end of the day anyone with $185K (including Rolex) can create a Top Level Domain. Its just a shame I dont have the money! But you can be sure that the internet will change forever with the ability to have any extension at the end of your domain.

Can you imagine login onto website http://www.rolex.rolex now how exclusive is that !

You can be assured that Rolex will do it. After all, money is not an issue with them.

Or someone else might!
