.ngo? Could you give us an example of a domain with that extension?

It could be one of thos...aaaa net names or new names you know .sports .sex .whatever

I wonder if I could register bi.ngo...

"There was a boy who had a dog..."

:)

Never heard of this TLD, and neither has IANA.

yea, but I heard of it before. See this URL:

http://xwhois.com/default.asp?domain=ngo

If you search around yahoo or any other search engine, you may fine a couple of .ngo domains. And this is what I found about the .ngo TLD,

.ngo is for is a Generic Top Level Domain (gTLD) - Not associated with a country.
Root: ORSC - Atlantic Root Network
Registration web site: http://www.pacificroot.com/register.shtml
Whois server: whois.pacificroot.com
Whois web interface: http://www.pacroot.com/cgi-bin/whois/whois.cgi

I have contacted them but no reply from them at the moment.

http://www.biztld.net/ might also help .. incase I am wrong ..

From their website, I found ..
... Restricted TLDs which require certification and manual registration are:
.NGO
(registered non-governmental organizations)
.NPO
(non-profit organizations) ...

how about

stop.ngo
?

Is this the TLD for Vietnam? Isn't that a popular Vietnamese last name?

:D

yea but its clearly stated,

Restricted TLDs which require certification and manual registration are

so, it might be difficult to just register it like fun.ngo .. might have to do some legal paper work.

yea but hm business.ngo :) it sounds silly

NGO's - aren't they like organisations that provide relief services in 3rd world countries etc. Doesn't sound like much fu.ngo to me!

Any registration in an alternate root (not ICANN and IANA approved) is at risk. You can register one, but can anyone actually visit your website?

The NEW.NET Internet anarchists and their followers have learned that lesson this hard way.

.boss :)

Alternate roots will make millions for the anarchist registries who create them, and will never be visible to the real world under current ICANN and IANA regulations.

To say "we've had .BIZ since 1995" does not make it a real TLD...

Apparently Pacific Root has certain rights to it, but it has not been activated from what I can gather. However, they have a long list of other non-ICANN TLD's, but I would caution to proceed at your own risk as it is all a bit confusing at best.

You might go to Grandom .com to see those available.

For instance, very.kinky is available as is terrible.cars

Maybe someone else can shed more light.

In fact, to join in the frolic, I am officially opening right now to register the following domains.

.sucker - $10,000 up front, useless, but good for your lifetime.

Imagine what you could get for the subdomain i.am.a in this TLD...

You send me the payment for .sucker and then you can reap all the benefits of i.am.a.sucker. Although I can't guarantee it, I would think the sub-domain is worth as much as the domain. Assuming that to be true, and then assuming .sucker to be worth $10,000, then you should be able to recover your full cost just on that one subdomain. What a plan!

Hii,

technically and financially speaking what does it take to have your own TLD...say in the alternate root itself...??

Thanks
:)

Why go that far? I have registered KissMy.US so that you can have Dude.KissMy.US or Osama.KissMy.US soon :D

Invent a new root registry, no permissions needed, no coordination with anyone needed, and write a browser plug in so that people can use it. You see you will never get your alternate root included in the DNS, so you will have to use a custom addition to a browser for someone to see your domains.

Be sure you have a huge pile of venture capital to fund you, as you'll need to advertize the heck out of this to gain any momentum. If you are lucky, you'll sign up 100,000-200,000 new domain owners at $20-30 a year who think you are really in the DNS. When they finally realize you are not, they will bail on you, and you'll end up filing Chapter 11.

Now as for mail, and other IP applications that don't use your browser's plug in, well here you have to be much more technical.

New.Net used addresses in the form of me@mydomain.biz.new.net for the "domain" mydomain.biz. It worked, but it was not particulatly clear to someone to wanted to send mail to you@yourdomain.biz...

-t

Is there any way to do it without a browser plugin. New.net has over three dozen alternate extensions, and I think it's tacky. Who is going to see a domain that requires a plugin? Obviously search engines can't see it. So what's the point?

Real domains have to be part of the DNS system to be useful, which means they need to be in the root servers, which means they need to be part of the ICANN and IANA world.

Alternate roots are all doomed to fail.
