Yet another TLD --> .cat

nRnF · Sep 18, 2005

In a nutshell:
Authorities have handed the eastern Spanish region of Catalonia 'virtual' national status by approving ".cat" for Internet sites in Catalan and pertaining to Catalan culture.
ICANN validated a submission by Catalonia's Associacio PUNTCAT (http://www.puntcat.org) which was made on March 16 last year.

pussy.cat is mine

hehe I got catregistrar.com WAY before the announcement

Dave_Z · Sep 19, 2005

Next thing you know, they'll approve .chi or something for the chinese...

nRnF · Sep 19, 2005

they already have .cn, so may be the next will be .man for "mandarin".

JoshHendo · Sep 19, 2005

hmm, i wonder what .dog COULD stand for lol. This is going to turn out to be just like .tv. MOst people register TV shows with .tv even thought it is a country etc.

pertosda · Sep 19, 2005

Yeah, but none of you knows "catalan" which is the language most premium .CAT names will be registered in...

Shorty · Sep 19, 2005

Not including english words punning on cat, like pussy.cat, dogeating.cat, etc :P

(Feel free to register dogeating.cat by the way, just made it up on the spot.

What next with extensions though? I'd love to see .dot, how confusing would that be? :D

You mean it sounds plain ridiculous. Who will stop ICANN ?
BTW these are the same guys who turned down .asia. I can't see any logic from their part.

gpmgroup · Sep 19, 2005

they are still thinking about .asia

There are implications for the existing ccTLD registries in the region, plus there is no regional governing body in the way there is for .eu.

RegFee · Sep 19, 2005

I agree, way too many extensions. Let's just have an extension for every day of the week, every month of the year, every holiday, and every color.

ihate.monday
christmasin.july
shopfor.christmas
light.purple

When will it stop?

At least this is just going to be another ccTld, instead of a brand new one.

Dibs on kittie.cat

Haha. I like all the new TLD's, and last I heard .xxx was to be approved soon? Porno.xxx is sure to be a great seller xD

faisj · Sep 21, 2005

I dont like the .cat .tld
would never buy a .cat domain

The Prodigy · Sep 21, 2005

Why not? They might catch on someday and be worth alot.

Kate · Sep 21, 2005

OK Willing to go for fat.cat & garfield.cat

namey · Sep 22, 2005

crazycatlady.cat is worth high $xxx,xxx!

SiobhÃ¡n · Sep 22, 2005

Oooh I wan litter.cat : )

hanz · Sep 22, 2005

hehe... nice! I do not like .cat very much, but it is nice that they are making new extensions. Maybe they will some day make .exe and .bat

SiobhÃ¡n · Sep 22, 2005

One day someone will form a country just to secure the rights to a .ocm domain.

s\0w · Sep 24, 2005

Interesting Information, Iv never heard of .cat. Thanks for sharing.

I dont see good business in the tld
There is no direct connection and i would put money better in other domains

rustypaulin · Sep 26, 2005

i think it seems like a nice TLD i like the domain fat.cat it sounds good

Kate · Sep 26, 2005

Well in some way all these new (sometimes non-sense) extensions set up by ICANN can be viewed as a way to squeeze more cash out of us :hehe:

leviathon · Sep 26, 2005

.Cat...... who'd think they'd make it in..

Oh well, Eat.Cat is claimed =O
