2. Six domain extensions to consider for your business
A strong web presence is essential to the success of a website. In recent years, new top-level domains (TLDs) have been introduced, redefining the manner in which businesses can use domain names to indicate their industry or niche.
Alisha Shibli from Radix Registry highlights six top-notch domains that you can use today for your business or personal project.
3. What’s .inc and why you should use it
With the launch of .inc in May 2019, businesses now have the ability to optimize their domain names and their Google ranking. Short, of course, for “incorporated,” .inc has already become a popular choice for businesses of all sizes, offering greater availability of desireable names for a premium price.

4. The domain name afterlife
Domains have a lifecycle. They are created, they are used for a time, and they expire. But for many domains, life doesn’t end there. Domain names can be revived, resurrected, and repurposed after living a full life and the lifecycle repeats itself. Sometimes the owner doesn’t have any use for a domain and they let it expire. But many times when domains expire it’s not intentional, and the owner just missed the deadline to renew.
When domain names expire, that’s not the end of the story. They continue to live on online in many forms even after they’re gone. Find out what happens to a domain name when it “dies.”
