What Are People Saying about .BIBLE domain names?
Mainstream media is raising public awareness about the biggest expansion of the Internet name space, with many new domain extensions becoming available to better categorize websites with more meaningful domain names. One estimate is projecting that as many as 1,000 new domain extensions are being made available in the next year.
Websites have become the digital home for all kinds of content (news, magazines, blogs, videos), commerce (online stores, shopping, travel, services), and conversations (social networks, discussion boards, chat rooms). The team at this .BIBLE TLD (Top Level Domain) Registry has been diligently working to prepare the infrastructure for making it possible for .BIBLE domain names to be registered; for example, myname.bible, pastorname.bible, churchname.bible, or ministryname.bible could be sample domain names that would be used to indicate websites having content that positively promotes the Bible and associates with the digital neighborhood for all things Bible.
