Learning Your Domain Name Alphabet
by Deborah Christie, POP Interactive
Many online managers are asking what is going on with the new domain names and if they should register them.
Seven new domain names have been approved with two of them -- .biz and .info -- are getting close to launching. To determine whether you need to register them, you need to know what they are and have a plan. You also need to be careful because not all domain names and domain name registries are created equal. Below we have compiled a list of resources to help you navigate your way through this alphabet soup:
