Get Ready for Custom Domains in 2010

by admin on Dec.10, 2009, under General

Searching for a method to interact on a more personal level with online customers? What could be better than domains on the Internet devoted solely to marketing your brand name?

Starting in 2010, that’s what you will be able to do Imagine your emails coming .your brand here. Or your emails coming from you.yourlastname! Will Apple launch a .mac community? Can your company create an engaging microsite on .your product name? Whether you are a consumer products reseller, technology company or healthcare organization you need to know how this upcoming domain registration change will impact your company’s online technology marketing efforts.

ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) will be allowing customized top level domains starting sometime in 2010. ICANN is instituting the change to allow more visibility and intuitiveness to domain names. After all, what does a “.com” mean to most people? A .nike would be much more intuitive. ICANN is reviewing its application process and will soon announce when in 2010 the customized top-level domains will be available. However, it’s not going to be as easy as buying a .com or .org domain name. The ICANN application process will require the following:

A business plan including a marketing plan covering how you will maintain and promote the domain over a 5-year period
Documentation of compliance policies
Comprehensive documentation of community support (if the domain is for a community site)
A competent and stable technology provider for registry services and hosting

This is not going to be a minor or cheap undertaking for most companies. It will demand a large budget and commitment to the project. In order to apply to ICANN, you company is going to have first decide if a top-level custom domain is worth the effort. Then you will have to get started immediately on the requirements listed above.
