In October 2013, ICANN, (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), began releasing new domain names for registration. In October 2014, ICANN approved hundreds of some 1,930 applications for domain names. Names like .coffe, .email, and .xyz, are now available.
Under its gTLD, (generic top level domains), program, ICANN intends to help facilitate competition and innovation, feeling that this will create a globally inclusive internet, regardless of language. A change like this will allow many businesses an opportunity to highlight their brand in more a direct way. Getting the word out will be the next priority for ICANN, as it is most likely that most of the world does not yet know about the new domains.
Some of the other domains that are now available are, .imb, .channel, .pizza, .business, .auction, and the list goes on. If you are a musician you may be interested in the domain, .band, which is also available.
