It’s been known for quite a bit of time the importance of a domain name and its ability to provide businesses with search ranking advantages.
If business owners would have known the outcome of the Internet and the .com craze of the mid 90’s some twenty years ago, then I’m almost certain that most would give thousands of dollars to go back in time to have purchase their premium .com of choice when they were free or cost a few hundred dollars.
There were millions and millions of domains floating around with little to no financial investment.
You simply had to be a risk taker, gambler, or saw just a glimpse of what the Internet could and would become.
It’s always difficult to predict and know the future from where we stand today.
However, it is much easier to take a 20/20 glance back down memory lane and see all the signs pointing to your current position.
Fast forward from decades ago, and it looks like history might be repeating itself again with the second coming of new gTLDs or new domain extensions.
By time its all said and done, there will be nearly 1,900 new domain extensions in the open market.
