Line Up Now for Your .NYC Domain Names
Prepare for the (online) land grab.
New York City announced Tuesday afternoon that it has officially been approved for its own top-level domain – the obvious suffix .nyc – making it one of the first cities in the world to stake out space in the new and expanding frontier of online real estate. By the end of this year, and for an unspecified amount, local businesses and residents with a "bona fide presence" in the city will be able to start registering for new web addresses like divebar.nyc or walkingtours.nyc.
The city is offering details at, umm, mydotnyc.com. Mydotnyc.nyc apparently wasn't available in time.
