If the idea takes on, there will be difficult to control it, as this process may be never-ending, like people would like to have wwwww. and so on, then, there may be another problem woth the owners of the original www. domains, do you think google or yahoo! will let to use their domain names on the ground there are four not three w before it. I doubt it.

anyone know what shall be the next step to spread our discussion to many people or at least let reach this discussion to those authorities who are in charge of domain naming?

Hi there,

If a person who invented www. (3 Ws) want to make wwww. (4 Ws) then i am sure that person can make this! And we should all fight for that to give everyone freedom to have what they want!

I don't think you understand, this would be impossible. www is a protocol, and the center part of the domain, e.g. "google" is the address. A protocol IS a rule (or a set of rules). wwww. names are possible, but only by the domain owners themselves.

To make it easier to understand, just think of it as you don't buy e.g. www.google.com, instead you are buying google.com and to have the www. is an option (because it is).

If this option was possible then Google and Yahoo! would be able to buy these domains before us anyway. Domain registrars offer businesses the chance to register Trademarked domains before they release them to the public, it saves hassle that's all.

This is a standard and will never change, maybe the Internet 2 will bring some new standards on domain naming, but I doubt it.

Kieran Taylor.

Thats ok. No one wants to buy yahoo or google but at least few others would be free such as internet.com, computer.com, mobile.com etc etc.. like many many important words..

Lets see if we can really do something for this!

WWWW - Lets spread a magic of 4Ws.

LETS HAVE THAT!.........

Default Re: Why today most of the single or double word domains are not available?

The reason is very simple, the internet is growing, there is more and more demands for domain name so generic one or two words domains are already taken.

It's not practical to introduce a new protocol now. if ICANN suddenly decided to introduce INTERNET.domainname.com as protocol, they would have problems with all those websites which use the INTERNET name as a subdomain already. Same with WWWW of course.

I guess a lot of spam domains use the quadruple W as a subdomain already because many people misspell WWW.

I can understand, that ICANN may have problems but think about those millions of people and domains rather bothering about those 10 out of millions!

I think now is a time for ICANN to think and take an action to stop those buggers who are keep reserving those 1 or 2 word domains for nothing but just to take out more money out of it.

They should either STOP this or START thinking something new to help other innocent business people!

I am thinking to raise this issue and a solution to ICANN. Is there anyone else who wants to join us and express their views on our discussion?

I think near future 3 words domain names would be gone from market. That would be a real disaster.

Yes, thats what i am saying... even today almost 3 words domains are getting reserved..

Few people are just reserving for nothing and to ask for more money in future.

Lets raise our voice and ask ICANN to start a new prefix as "ww" or "wwww" so all the domains can be freed up!

Please, i would like everyone to take part in this forum and suggest your opinions!

Every suggestion counts.
