New Domain Tld's - .name sites will allow individuals to have a section of the Web zoned solely for personal use. The dot-name registry will only allow registration of third-level Domain Names – the “john ” part of “john.smith.name ” – to allow for a greater number of personal Web addresses. This registry will be run by a British company, supporting ICANN ’s goal to increase the geographical diversity of the registries.

.pro is intended for use exclusively by “professionals,” such as lawyers, doctors and accountants. As in the dot-name registry, only third-level Domain Names will be registered, as in “johnsmith.law.pro.” Registrants will have to provide proof of their professional credentials to reserve a Domain Name in this space, which should increase the prestige and usefulness of this gTLD.
