Fresh top level domain names at a tech conference

Fresh top level domain names at a tech conference

A few fresh TLDs popped up at a tech conference in Florida.

Michael Ward of The SSL Store attended Innovation Summit in Tampa Bay this stretch. As he walked through the exhibit floor he had an experience much like what I have at non-domain conferences: firms are using fresh top level domain names, but they are far outnumbered by other top level domains.

Of the 250 exhibitors, Ward spotted three that were using fresh top level domains and one of them was using two.

When Ward asked one of the firms why they went with a fresh top level domain they stated “since all of the .coms were taken”.

Here are the fresh TLDs he saw:

GlobalVillage.world is used by a publishing firm.

IOP.global offers a peer-to-peer system and yes, they have a token.

Miami.exchange is coming soon.

Mercury.cash is a cryptocurrency payment system.
