New Generic Top Level Domains by Frosti(m): 11:12am On Jun 16, 2012
ICANN developed the New generic Top-Level Domain Program to increase competition and choice by introducing new gTLDs into the Internet's addressing system.

What is a gTLD? It is an Internet domain name
extension such as the familiar .com, .net, or .org.

There are 280 ccTLDs but only 22 "generics" in the domain name system right now, but that is all about to change. The new gTLD application window opened on 12 January 2012 and closed on 30 May 2012. The following list displays all of the gTLD strings that were applied for during this round.
