Since 1985, additional generic TLDs have been added and more are expected
in the coming years. The "com" TLD is the most
widely known generic domain name. A complete list of Generic Top
Level domains is available here.
Unfortunately, without paying a huge sum of money to an existing domain name owner, it
is nearly impossible to find short, memorable and appropriate ".com"
domain name anymore. Consequently, people are looking for
alternatives.
