.com = commercial site. if you're making a commercial site then you use .com, if an education site, .edu. etc

i think that .coms should be broken up into personel sites, bio/band/artists sites, etc.

They should start using .po for porn sites, that'd free up about 99% of domain names right there

There was a recent (last 2 or 3 years) push to allow registration of *.xxx domains for adult websites.

.biz

Originally posted by UglyDave Hi guys, I purchased a domain name about a year ago - derry.com derry = a small city up the road from me (also known as Londonderry - long story + not getting into it). anyways. it has a population of about 100 thousand. I have no intention of selling this domain for the next 20 years or so. Due to the lack of availability of .com addresses, is there ever expected to be another domain extension that will become the number one? Also, if anybody has any idea what a domain name for a town with 100k inhabitants - please give me a rough idea what it may be worth. Thanks, Dave

Damn it!

If it was londonderry.com I might have considered it

You could always sell it to SinnFein....

Dublin Guy - The real name of the City is Londonderry.

Unfortunatly, that's the way it is.

And to your Toicfaidh ar la comment, i seriously doubt we'll ever have a united Ireland. Sucks, but i dont see it.

If anything Northern Ireland will become an independant state.

I just rememeberd, IPv6 may play some role in naming conventions. If and when it's implemented.
