There needs to be a larger participation of government, civil society, private sector, academicians and technical committees.” The conference organised by Indian Domain Owners Association (IDOA), the body of India’s leading domain investors, web entrepreneurs and service providers in India brought together domain owners, affiliate marketers, bloggers, startups & SMEs, and service providers across the globe to spread awareness about GTLDs. Prakhar Bindal, CEO World Domain Day and also Founder of Axsiom (India’s largest domain fund), speaking on the occasion said “This tidal wave of new top level domains will create a changing internet landscape forever. Brand owners need to prepare a brand protection strategy to secure the most obvious domain names. Marketers will have new, innovative options to be creative and new businesses will have a large assortment of endless possibilities of finding the perfect name.” While the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), a global internet overseer prepares for the largest-ever expansion of the domain name system. The announcement by ICANN to allow applications for generic Top Level Domains – gTLDs, the ‘’ or ‘.net’ part of website addresses has opened the floodgates of domain name creativity; this is no longer a world, restricted by locality (.can, .uk) by classification (.edu, .mil) or by company structure (.org, .biz). The revolution has begun! Now if you own a restaurant? Apply for .food, .menu, .eat, .dine. In the adventure industry? Look at .scuba, .ski, .dive! “So one can pick up these new names for as low as Rs1000 to Rs 2000 and expect to sell them for lacks of rupees over the next few years. This kind of returns a common man cannot fetch from any other industry,” Prakhar added. Sites like indusdomains give insight on investing in domain names.
