The introduction of hundreds of new domain extensions means we can register keyword extensions that are both descriptive and memorable. They can be industry identifiers, professions, skills, social causes, interests, or geographical locations. Finding your perfect domain name with so many to choose from can be daunting. So stop! Grab a coffee, sit down, and take a look at how to choose and secure your domain name.
This post from legal eagle Luc, is the second part of a two piece précis detailing the highlights of the ICANN meeting which took place in Los Angeles between October 12 and 16, 2014. The first part is available here .
From October 12 to 16, 2014 the ICANN community held its quarterly meeting in the organisation’s hometown of Los Angeles. Luc, our legal eagle, swooped in to join the 2300+ participants who attended.

A couple of weeks back, ICANN kicked off discussions concerning a second round of new domain extensions.

To celebrate the launch of our German website, we’ve lined up executives from the two main players in the German domain industry for an exclusive interview. Introducing Carsten Schiefner from DENIC, the registry behind .DE, the ccTLD for Germany. With over 15 million registrations it's the most popular ccTLD. And we have Dirk Krischenowski from dotBERLIN, the registry behind .BERLIN, the feisty challenger and second most registered new domain extension.
In March 2015, the .CH registry in Switzerland (SWITCH) will end its role as registrar and give its full attention to the operation of the registry. Customers owning .CH domain names will need to find a new registrar. Trying to find a new registrar can be a daunting prospect and we'd strongly recommend beginning the process now to avoid the possible chaos of this mass migration. EuroDNS is here to help by offering our advice and services.
