The Freedom of Domain Names!

For the last 25 years of time in the internet domain names, or another way in web addresses, the basic structure is owned by/ controlled by, a non-profitable American Corporation called ICANN (ICANN - Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). Only about 20 public names are used to end the names of all web sites (around 165 millions of web sites) in world. TLDN (TLDN - Top Level Domain Name) is the name to introduce those public names and no body has authority to change those.

But the group of high level authority in ICANN corporation held a meeting on the date of 26th of June this year, decided to break the rules and let the user can assign a desired name or set of characters for their top level domain. Also the name need not to be in English language. Any body can use any language for their top level domain.

But the people who get the most benefits from this new regulation are businessmen. As an example if Microsoft corporation expect to use '.microsoft' domain name, they can use that as their own top level domain name. Also all the google web site names will end with '.google' top level domain name. At present all those web sites are ended with the most popular top level domain name of '.com'. By this time almost 70 millions of websites ended with that '.com' domain name.

Those top level domain names are particularly useful to find a correct web site and to send an e-mail message to the correct place in the internet. The reason behind to give few top level domain even though there are millions of web sites available, is the cost to develop a technological background is very high. So, according to this new technology, if somebody need to have his own top level domain, he will be charged for the maintenance cost of hardware and server allocation. According to this publication, for a particular domain name the owner should pay around 100,000 $ of US to the ICANN.

The ICANN corporation said that they expect to launch the project in next April, 2009 with ten millions of US dollars. According to that at the end of 2009, there will be thousands of top level domains beside the few amount of top level domains said by Pole Tonmi, CEO-ICANN corporation.
