Uncontested Domain Names sought in New gTLD process

It’s been years in the making, but today the companies behind 4 new generic Top Level Domains are celebrating their launch.  ICANN has announced that the following four gTLDs are cleared to proceed to DNS delegation:

  • 游戏(xn--unup4y) – Chinese for “game(s)”
  • сайт (xn--80aswg) – Cyrillic for “site”
  • онлайн (xn--80asehdb) – Cyrillic for “online”
  • شبكة (xn--ngbc5azd) – Arabic for “web/network”

Want to try one out?  Michele reports that nic.游戏 is live.  Want to browse through some of hundreds of other domains in the new gTLD process?  Check out dotwhat.co!
