GoDaddy CEO Blake Irving sat down with me to discuss GoDaddy’s strategy behind their new generic Top-Level Domains (gTLD), why owners should adopt these domains to help define their business, and an inside scoop about the rollout of close to 800 TLDs planned for release later this year.
The TLDs, are part of the web address to the right of the dot (“.”), with the most common being .com, .net and .org. The new TLDs were created to help owners define their website, brand, business, group or organization to their customers. Some of the new extensions are based on technology, professions, activities, sports or industries. Watch the video here.
