Internet Land Rush May Lead To .nazi, .gay And .god Domain Names
The .com domain simply is not cutting it anymore. Thanks to ongoing negotiations by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), users might find a .love, .gay, .muhammad or .nazi that's more to their liking. These and other colorful domain names might be headed to your Web browser shortly, reports the Washington Post. If you want a .com website, you might want to look into obtaining a massive payday loan, because they are used up.

All of the Internet land rush
For a long time, everybody has expected to be able to use .com, .net and .org. The public sector uses .edu, .mil, and .gov. Yet domains like .nazi, .god, .gay, .muhammad and others seem destined to stir controversy, suggest critics. Or in the case of such things as .amazon, conflicts of ownership could arise. Who would own .amazon: the online retailer or Brazil?. You will find issues Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers expects to resolve by March or April. These are just some examples. Claims can be solicited by companies or governments to ICANN. The Web land rush will take place soon.
Making a claim
The good news for corporations and celebrities is the price for one of the potential new domain names is far beyond what a basement armchair Internet prospector can afford. The Washington Post reports that $185,000 is exactly what it costs to apply for the domain. Maintaining it is another $25,000 a year. And if a party applies for a brave new domain with ICANN and is rejected, they only get back some of the application fee. You will find several upset about this including Los Angeles-based People for Internet Responsibility Lauren Weinstein. Weinstein explains that ICANN is just planning to make some fast money off of this. She says that trademark holders and users will just be upset trying to use it. Peter Thrush is the ICANN chairman who claims that .gay, .nazi or other domains have fees. There will probably be lawsuits for the organization. That means the non-profit Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers will need the money and will also need to defend against cybersquatting in the future.
“Our job is to protect competition and give extra choices for consumers and entrepreneurs,” said Thrush.
