As you probably know, a couple of years ago sponsored top level domains became available. Companies and institutions around the world could purchase and run a top level extension like .google, .club, .pizza and so on. Today we have more than 800 top level domains available, with 2000 or so in the waiting list. Some of these extensions represent a very good opportunity for site owners who can’t find a good .com domain available. We will start running a column featuring the best sponsored top level domains, and examples of successful sites using them.
The first extension we will be covering is the .ART, which is an excellent option for any art related website. Here are the websites:
