closed New.net

Any value? Do you believe that ICANN will accept their extensions.

I never tryed this service but i hear bad words about this service everywhere

Buying a domain name from new.net is like buying a glacier floating around at the equator -- they could vanish from the face of the earth at any time.

ICANN will never accredit "their" extensions. They may claim them for themselves -- but it's very unlikely that they're going to welcome a company that is trying to go behind their backs.

 

Last I heard Icann called the business a "cute trick", so unless something has changed I doubt their extensions will ever be globally accessible.

New.net is a bit of hype machine (in my opinion) and I'd take whatever you read on their homepage with a grain of salt.

What will happen when/if ICANN addopt a New.net extension? How do New.net overcome this?

 

What happened when ICANN did not approve of the .WEB and chose .BIZ ? nothing.

.sex or .xxx might interest ICANN?

There are too many extensions already... Who needs anymore?
ICANN should say no and stick by the extensions they already have.

Look at the fiasco with the recent additions such as .tv and .biz. Do we really want to go through something similar again.

.COM is king and is here to stay!

Yes, If You take it that way, if there were only .com domains, the profits would be much bigger? And that would be cool.

 

.tv is a national TLD and I happen to like .BIZ

.com is king. That is all one needs to know.

in my opinion.. it is best to steer clear of the new.net

there are many other names w/ other extensions..

and still many .com's available.. and the expired names too.


i've never purchased a new.net and i don't forsee that i will.


goodluck!

ICANN, if it adopts an extension that new.net uses, will simply replace it with an actual domain in the root zone files. ICANN is never going to accept an alternate root provider. If your ISP is supporting new.net zone file lookups, it had better be going to the ICANN supported root servers first...

Alternate roots would result in Internet Anarchy - and none of us want that.

I was always fond of the extension .isgay

Soccer.isgay
Yahoo.isgay
Soda.isgay

Lets cross our fingers, that this is approved.
