Title: The .SUCKS domain is coming soon to an angry website near you Post by: HCK on March 18, 2015, 09:00:11 pm The .SUCKS domain is coming soon to an angry website near you
<article> <section class="page"> <p>At the end of March, a brand new generic top-level domain (gTLD) will go on sale that is the embodiment of modern online sentiment: .SUCKS. Yes, pretty soon you can own your own piece of Internet hate for the political (HillarysEmail.sucks), the arbitrary (purple.sucks), or the sporty (StandUpPaddleBoarding.sucks).</p><p>The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers approved the .SUCKS domain as part of the new gTLD expansion (http://www.pcworld.com/article/2057540/icann-starts-rolling-out-new-generic-toplevel-domains.html) that ICANN says could include more than 1,300 TLDs over the next few years.</p><p>Some .SUCKS domain names could end up being nothing more than a little harmless fun. The worst case scenario for major companies, however, might be a disgruntled customer getting their hands on of Google.sucks, Nestle.sucks, or Comcast.sucks. And apparently the company behind the .SUCKS TLD knows it.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2898039/the-sucks-domain-is-coming-soon-to-an-angry-website-near-you.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: The .SUCKS domain is coming soon to an angry website near you (http://www.macworld.com/article/2898039/the-sucks-domain-is-coming-soon-to-an-angry-website-near-you.html#tk.rss_all) |
