New Domains

On November 16, 2000, ICANN approved seven new domains:

.biz, .info, .name, .pro, .aero, .coop, and .museum

These new extensions have only been approved by ICANN but not by the US Department of Commerce. These new generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs) will not be officially entered into the Internet's root servers until the spring of 2001. This pre-registration is FREE and you will only be charged a registration fee for the domain names you have successfully registered.

.biz for businesses and corporations
.info for information-based services such as newspapers, libraries, etc.
.name for individuals' and personal websites
.pro for professions such as law, medicine, accounting, etc.
.aero for services and companies dealing with air travel
.coop for co-operative organizations
.museum for museums, archival institutions, and exhibitions
