Do not forget to mark this day in your calendar! 16 of January 2014 shows the start of new age in the history!
Are you still asking why?
Here is the answer: of course, I will speak about domains: for the first time the Cyrillic world will take a good and warm “WHOLE seat” in the hall of Internet. Not like a “half seat”, as till now by registering a domain name in Cyrillic you clearly show to the world from which region are you/your company. NO. From now on this will change!
The GENЕRIC top-level domains .САЙТ and .ОНЛАЙН are comming.
We already created for you the first two examples: дом.сайт and дом.онлайн.
After 16th of January everybody can follow these examples and create the name of their own webpage totally in Cyrillic using .САЙТ and/or .ОНЛАЙН.
How we separated the first dates in phases by priorities?
October 23, 2021 “marks an historic moment, not only for the New gTLD Program, but for the Internet as a whole.” (blog.icann.org)
The first 4 Top-Level Domains were officially delegated and we are among them:
Congratulations also to .web in Arabic and .game in Chinese!
