iGuest 3 Report post Posted September 17, 2004 NIC started .name TLDs a few years ago. And were only releasing it as eitherfirstname.lastname.name ORlastname.firstname.nameSince 14th Jan this year, they started rolling out 2nd level .name doamins. Whch means now you can get *.lastname.name OR *.firstname.name.This is very useful for personal names which are already taken in most popular .com TLD. Get yours before someone takes your lastname.Before 14th Jan 2004, blocking *.lastname.name could have cost you few thousand dollars. But now its available just like any other regular domain.Imagine you email addr as firstname@lastname.nameAnd your web site as lastname.nameYou probably can also host it here (Admin correct me if I'm wrong about hosting it here) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
