New web neighborhoods set to emerge
Print Edition
New online neighborhoods opened yesterday when a US company starts offering web addresses ending in “.guru,” “.bike” — and even “.singles.”
Donuts Inc plans to launch seven new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) and then roll out more on a weekly basis through most of the year.
In the mix initially are addresses ending in guru, bike, singles, as well as clothing, holdings, plumbing and ventures.
Donuts, based in the northwestern state of Washington, will manage the domains, letting website registry firms such as GoDaddy sell addresses to the public.
A new batch will debut on February 5 with domain suffixes camera, equipment, estate, gallery, graphics, lighting and photography, the company said in a release.
“Starting this week, new, relevant and specific Internet naming options will be available on a scale never before seen,” said Donuts co-founder and Chief Executive Paul Stahura.
“This is a unique opportunity for businesses, brands, organizations and individuals to find an online identity that speaks precisely to their products, services and interests.”
