- JacobAldridge 16y agoSimilar question to mine about different global locations where similar business have similar names. Getting the domain name is an important aspect of choosing your business name - how much harder will that be when you want to open "Computer Solutions" in Kalgoorlie and can't get the domain because of an equally small "Computer Solutions" in Timbuktu?
- Sidnicious 16y agoThis won't solve that problem. I think that ICANN should continue to maintain (even enhance) geographic TLDs, so that my little pet groomer in NYC doesn't need to pony up the cash to buy a gTLD or use a commercial second-level domain, but can get a cheap .nyc.ny.us name name. In your case, whichever Computer Solutions gets big enough to buy the gTLD first wins.
- Sidnicious 16y agoThe same way Apple got me.com: Whichever one is big enough to buy the domain off the other one gets it.
