New York to get its own .nyc domain
NEW York City likes to think of itself as a domain like no other, and now it's close to being able to boast as much on the web.
The city has got a key approval for a ".nyc" online suffix, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. That would mean web addresses could end in ".nyc" instead of common suffixes such as ".com" or ".org."
"Having our own unique, top-level domain ? .nyc ? puts New York City at the forefront of the digital landscape and creates new opportunities for our small businesses," Bloomberg said.
The city's new virtual realm is one of hundreds of new suffixes worldwide that have passed what are called "initial evaluations" by the agency in charge of online addresses, the Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers. The list includes Istanbul, London and Paris, among other cities.
While some further approvals are needed, officials envision ".nyc" addresses becoming available late this year.
