New Domains A Huge Pain For Companies
from the causing-more-problems dept
Weren't the new top level domains supposed to make things easier for businesses? For many it's becoming more of a pain because they suddenly have to figure out which domains to get in .biz and .info - and whether or not they'll have to fight with cybersquatters over those. Most of these companies are doing so because they have to protect their trademark - and not because they're going to do anything special or different with the new domains. Seems like a huge waste of money for a lot of companies.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
