gTLD: Generiska toppdomäner. t.ex .aero, .arpa, .asia ,.biz ,.cat ,.museum ,.name ,.pro ,.tel ,.travel.
ccTLD: CountryCode toppdomäner. t.ex .se, .de, .cz
ICANN ställer sig nu för tiden öppna för NYA kommersiella gTLD's, t.ex .blog, .volvo så vitt det går att tyda utifrån ICANN.org:
Citat:
After years of discussion and thought, generic top-level domains (gTLDs) are being expanded. They will allow for more innovation, choice and change to a global Internet presently served by just 21 generic top-level domain names.
A draft Applicant Guidebook has been developed with opportunities for public comment. The draft Guidebook describes processes for objections to applications. There has been detailed technical scrutiny to ensure the Internet’s stability and security. There will be an evaluation fee, but it will recover costs only (expenses so far, application processing and other costs) and it will be reviewed after the first round of applications. ICANN is a not for profit corporation dedicated to coordinating the Internet’s addressing system. If fee collection exceeds expenses, the community will be consulted as to how that excess is to be used.
Promoting competition and choice is one of the principles upon which ICANN was founded. In a world with 1.5 billion Internet users (and growing), diversity, choice and innovation are key. The Internet has supported huge increases in choice, innovation and the competition of ideas and expanding new gTLDs is an opportunity for more.

Citat:
Numbers (ICANN) will soon begin accepting applications from organizations and members of the public who wish to claim their own top-level domain (TLD).
Here is why you should consider applying for your own TLD:
* To reinforce and protect your corporate or product brand(s)
* To own short, memorable Internet real estate directly relevant to you or your business/organization
* To capitalize early on the NEW process which allows nearly everyone to apply
To be successful, you should have an experienced partner by your side—a partner who knows how to apply for and manage new domains. Afilias has helped more TLDs to be approved and launched than any other provider—we already support over 14 million registrations across 15 TLDs.
