New domain extensions
Over 700 new Domain extentions have been introduced in the recent years.
The new gTLDs represent regions or cities, e. g. .africa, .london, .paris, communities, e. g. .gay, .cpa, .hotel, or generic terms of any kind, e. g. .sport, .web, .home, .shop, .music etc..
The internet landscape will change as a result and many new generic namespaces with attractive domain names will be created.
Moniker offers you free, non-binding pre-orders and the registration of new gTLDs.
