At the moment companies are only allowed to use a few standard endings to their website addressed; .com, .net and country specific endings like .co.uk.
Today ICANN revealed the full list of companies applying for new "top level domains" like .app, .game and even .horse! We thought we'd give a little round up of the listing and show you who's after what.
Most significant perhaps are the 100 or so tlds applied for by Google - everything from .baby to .zip - and that Apple appears only to have requested one tld - .apple - despite obvious interest from other players like Google & Amazon for the possible .store suffix.
Microsoft appears to have stuck to its own brand names and Facebook & Twitter don't seem to appear anywhere on the list. There are lots of other interesting companies in the main listing; L'Oréal - seeking .beauty, .skin, .salon along with a number of brand names and GMC, Ford & Chrysler all looking to secure their .brand marques.
Here's a list of the companies looking to obtain the most suffices and we've listed out all of the domains requested by some of these groups further down. If you'd like to see the full list it's available over on the ICANN website.
