New TLDs
Your own .brand as web address? Apply now with EPAG’s support!
Would you like to use your own company name or trademark as extension of your web address? It will be possible in 2012! From January 2012, every organization in the world can apply for their own domain extension, so called top-level domains, like .company or .brand.
ICANN, the organization in charge for the administration of global Internet addresses, has built the foundation in a comprehensive body of legislation. Whoever is willing to invest an at least six-digit amount in Euros, can use the own brand or company name in the future.
As accredited ICANN-registrar, EPAG has the know-how and numerous contacts to take your own top-level domain to the starting grid successfully. We support you with the development of the comprehensive application for ICANN, as well as the further technical operation of your domain extension.
Up to now only 21 generic TLDs exist. The market opening establishes the basis for more competition and innovation in the global Internet market.
EPAG has been in the domain name industry since 2000 and was actively involved in the launches of many gTLDs since then. An extensive network of personal contacts in the industry and regular participation at ICANN and other industry events provides us with profound insight and up-to-date information on the global namespace evolution.
We are familiar with many different TLD models and have the specific expertise necessary for successfully establishing and marketing your new TLD.
The possible reasons for an own top-level domain are multifarious:
- Optimize use and visibility of digital brands (e.g. .brand, .product)
- Create your own namespace for your community on the internet
(e.g. .city, .region, .group) - Complete control of registrations in your name space
