If you want more information about responsive designSince the beginning of 2014, a small revolution has taken place in terms of “ generic Top Level Domains ”, or first-level domains . Businesses can benefit from new extensions, such as territorial city domains. NewYork, .Roma, .Milano and there are also domains of specific categories available such as .Bike, .Photography, .Guru. To date, there are more than 200 extensions already registrable .

What are the new gTLDs, or top-level domains?
A top-level domain is what comes after the last dot in a domain, such as .COM, or .IT. A second-level domain is the name that comes before the first level. For example, in clikka.com, clikka is the second-level domain and .com is the top-level domain. Most of the good domain names with the available extensions have already been registered, although many of these are not in use and have been registered by people hoping to resell them at a high price to legitimate companies. A radical change and expansion of top-level domains has therefore been expected for some time.

The long-awaited revolution of new domains began in 2014 , when the first domains with the new top-level extensions .bike, .clothing, .guru, .holdings, .plumbing, .singles and .ventures became available and germany telegram data people were able to register their own second-level domain (e.g. clikka.guru).

The revolution will be progressive and not economic, as the domains with the new extensions will be released little by little and will involve a more select audience, with a consequent increase in prices, compared to more generic domains.


ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers , is a non-profit organization created specifically to manage domains globally and ensure that the system functions securely.

ICANN authorizes the Registration Authorities of each State or independent territory that are responsible for assigning the various "national" top-level domains, such as .it, .fr, .es. In Italy the Registration Authority is the NIC, a branch of the Institute of Informatics and Telematics of the CNR in Pisa.

After six years of discussions, ICANN has approved the release of a large number of top-level domain names to be managed by individual companies operating worldwide. This will give companies a wide choice of names for their websites.
