Generic Top Level Domains: debate raises the profile
Press reports that Rod Beckstrom, former coordinator of Web security forthe Obama administration is jetting around the world to market Web suffixes that he says will revolutionise the Internet.
One view is that expansion of the current 22 generic top-level domain names (.com ornd .org) to, for example, .porsche, .nfl or .bank has gained little traction months before applications begin. Porsche AG, Vodafone Group Plc and Puma SE say the high costs of the exclusive addresses - starting at about $1 million for five years - outweigh the benefits of marketing opportunities.
If corporates are so far reticent (Canon Inc. and Deloitte have so far shown enthusiasm) other bodies such as localities, ethnic groups or general themes such as .dubai, .zulu or .sport. are indicating interest. London plans to apply, also New York, Paris, Sydney, Rome, Berlin and Mumbai.
Commentator Martin Lindstrom, author of best-selling Buyology: Truth and Lies About Why We Buy asks: Why should people suddenly step up and spend another $2 million? for a gTLD. In our view, however, $2m to secure, for example, .Coke is peanuts in the marketing lexicon of such a major brand. And as the recently-bid Group NBT has shown, the role of a domain name registrar extends to protection of name "clusters" and fraud prevention, which demand diligence and technical expertise.
Perhaps the final word on corporate positioning is best provided by Frank Shulz, head of central Europe for MarkMonitor: Companies may be unwilling to speak out in favour of the domains because they dont want to share their plans with competitors Its a big competitive advantage to leave rivals in the dark.

TLDH will be involved in the issuing process for Web site domains next year
Internet addressing specialist Top Level Domain Holdings (LON:TLDH) is well positioned to take advantage of the start of the issue process for new Web site domains when the process begins early next year. So says house broker Daniel Stewart, which said in a research note published today that the company is well placed to both submit its own generic Top Level Domain applications as well as efficiently manage the complex process for others.
In terms of how the market will develop, Daniel Stewart said that one view is that the idea of Web brands such as .porsche, .nfl or .bank has gained little traction due to high perceived cost. However, there is keen interest from localities and ethnic or interest groups, e.g. .dubai, .zulu, or .sport, it said. London plans to apply, also New York, Paris, Sydney, Rome, Berlin and Mumbai.
The broker also disagrees with the view that organisations would not be prepared to fork out millions of dollars for a generic TLD. In our view... US$2 million to secure, for example, .Coke is peanuts in the marketing lexicon of such a major brand.
Daniel Stewart forecasts that TLDH will turn over 0.4 million this year, while it expects revenue to increase to 2.9 million in 2012. The firms pre-tax loss is also expected to increase, however, from 0.8 million this year to 3.9 million in 2012.
Daniel Stewart has set a target price of 20 pence for the shares, which were trading at 7.5 pence each near the close on Friday.

Thousands perhaps hundreds of thousands of new domain name extensions due to be releases starting in January 2012 will make getting your business found on the net more difficult.
There has never been a more important time and reason to stake your claim on the net by owning one or more .com domain names says Scott Alliy an Internet marketing SEO and ecommerce business expert and President of KetMo.com a domain name reseller.
ICANN has authorized the creation and release of an uncounted number of new domain name extensions which will in this authors opinion confuse internet users and unnecessarily add to the already overblown number of choices of extensions that Internet users already face.
In the end says Scott the Internet overseers can add as many right of the dot extensions as they wish to but the confusion will lead to marketing madness and cause confused Internet surfers to retreat to the old familiar .com extension of whatever product service or website that they are searching for.
As the chaos and confusion rise and Internet surfers retreat owners of meaningful and memorable domain names with a dotcom extension will be the beneficiary.
Choosing a great meaningful and memorable dotcom is easy says Scott and contrary to reports there are still many dotcoms that have never been registered and thousands of dotcoms listed for sale in the Aftermarket on reputable domain name reseller websites like KetMo.com.
The best tip that I can provide anyone searching for a good meaningful and memorable domain name that they can use to build a brand for their online business is to keep it simple and think like an Internet user.
People are too busy and have too much on their minds to remember every website they visited says Scott. Choosing some 4 character acronym may be good for associations but for ordinary business owners a domain name that includes keywords or a key phrase that is in line with what a user might type in a search query is the best choice.
For example Scott says if you are trying to attract consumers with interest in Skin care products instead of a catchy unknown name they probably won't remember and most likely won't share with others why not choose a name like sexierskin.com a domain name which is listed among many others at KetMo.com in the Consumer Goods category.
This may be the best time and certainly the last time to act during a limited and closing window to secure a name to take advantage of all the publicity and hype about the Internet and websites and domain names that is sure to increase as we approach the release and flood of new domain name extensions says Scott.
Now is also a tremendous opportunity for entrepreneurs and established Internet business owners to get in the game or increase their holdings to take advantage of the tremendous exposure to Internet businesses which is sure to arise from the expected enormous media blitz about the release of the new Top Level domain names TLD.
He invites Internet startups and established Internet business owners to visit http://www.KetMo.com and choose one or more domain names they wish to use to stake their claim on the net and take advantage of the pending media and advertising circus.

ADDS BROKER COMMENTS---
Top Level Domain Holdings (LON:TLDH) is going head-to-head with web giants Google and Amazon in an unprecedented internet land grab.
“We are the fourth largest applicant in the world for new gTLDs after Donuts, Google, and Amazon and have significant financial resources,” executive Fred Krueger noted in the firm’s interim results covering the first half of 2013.
gTLDs are generic top level domains, recognisable as the final part of web site addresses, such as dot.com, dot.net, dot.org and, these days, weird and wonderful gTLDs such as dot.fishing, dot.beer and dot.london, which are just three of the domains the company has the right to allocate to applicants.
If you ever set up a company organising fishing days in London where the beers are kept cool in a keep-net, you know who to contact …
“Our cost base is lower than many of our competitors and we believe that we have the highest valued portfolio of geographic TLDs in the industry. Our servers and infrastructure have passed initial pre-delegation testing. In short, we are ready to go - both to launch and manage our portfolio of uncontested gTLDs, and those of our clients, as well as to monetise those contested applications where we take the view that a gTLD string is being over-valued by our competitors,” Krueger added.
The group is well funded following a £6.6mln fund-raising exercise earlier this year and the subsequent negotiation of a funding facility of up to US$15mln to support its participation in a prospective auction in relation to a specific contested gTLD.
At the end of June, cash and cash equivalents stood at £7.36mln, up from £2.32mln the year before.
The first half of 2013 was characterised by building for the future. Revenues in the period were just £7,000, versus £346,000 in the first half of last year, but the group reckons it may see its first revenues as a back-end registry operator – i.e. domain name registration service provider – in the final quarter of 2013, which should get the top line moving.
The development that should really juice-up revenues, however, is the launch of the dot.london gTLD which potentially could happen as early as the first half of next year.
As might be expected of a company building for the future, Top Level is currently loss-making. The first half of the year saw a loss before tax of £1.89mln, versus a loss of £1.55mln the year before.
House broker N+1 Singer says the company remains an exciting play into “the most significant development in the history of the Internet Domain Name System”.
That may sound a tad hyperbolic, but seeing as the company was formed in 2009 to capitalise on the sea-change in the internet domain name system, it is difficult to argue that Top Level’s time is about to come at last, with the broker saying “we are now in the home stretch”.
“It is worth noting that TLDH now has an economic interest in 25 uncontested generic, non-brand top-level domains and has applied for 48 additional names,” notes Tintin Stormont, at N+1 Singer.
“Its technical platform, alongside its industry and marketing experience helped it win the public tender bids for the highly valuable geographic gTLDs of London, Miami, Bavaria, Budapest, and North-Rhine Westphalia. In addition, it has also won the confidence of other large players, powering the applications of Bradesco (2nd largest bank in Brazil), the Republican Party in the US, and Tucows, the world’s third largest registrar,” she adds.
“We believe the next 12 months will be a momentous time for the company as the real value from its portfolio of gTLDs emerges; we believe that value is substantially underestimated by the current share price,” Stormont concludes.

Top Level Domain Hdg
Private Auction and gTLD Program Update
RNS Number : 3922R
Top Level Domain Holdings Ltd
25 October 2013
For immediate release
25 October 2013
Top Level Domain Holdings Limited
("TLDH" or the "Company")
Private Auction and gTLD Program Update
· TLDH to realise US$4.81 million (£2.97 million) in cash from .website and .lawyer private auctions
· ICANN delegates first four gTLDs into the Internet's Root Zone
· Company well positioned for growth and acquisition of further gTLDs
The directors of Top Level Domain Holdings (AIM:TLDH) are delighted to announce that following the private auctions for .website and .lawyer, which concluded late on 23 October 2013, the Company will add £2.97 million (US$4.81 million) to its cash reserves. The amount includes proceeds from the two private auctions, net of commissions payable to the auctioneer, and refunds due from ICANN in relation to each of the two applications.
Separately, the directors are pleased to report that the first four gTLDs under ICANN's New gTLD Program have now been delegated into the Internet's Root Zone. As expected, the first four gTLDs to be delegated by ICANN are in non Roman scripts - شبكة. (Arabic for "web/network"),.онлайн (Cyrillic for "online"), .сайт (Cyrillic for "site") and .游戏(Chinese for "game(s)").
Following the receipt of cash from the latest round of private auctions, the Company will have cash reserves of £10.1 million - as well as access to up to a further US$15 million to compete in a single auction. The reserves will allow the Company to continue growing its portfolio of uncontested applications and move its portfolio to launch. TLDH's portfolio of uncontested applications in which it has interests remains at 25, 17 of which it wholly owns.
Fred Krueger, Chairman of TLDH, said:
"We are delighted with the result of the latest private auction rounds. Our strategy remains to best monetise those applications where we see least value so that we can maximise our ability to acquire those names in which we see greatest value. We very much look forward to competing in the next private auction rounds. We are additionally delighted with the speed with which the first four gTLDs have moved from contract signing to delegation. This is a momentous point in the Internet's development and means there is a strong probability that our portfolio will move to cash generative positions within the time-frames previously indicated."
