As businesses and individuals clamor to put their
web sites on the ever-expanding World Wide Web, available domains are running out.
Cyber-squatters are milking companies for millions of dollars for strategically
purchased domain names. These problems will continue to invade the Internet community,
unless the naming possibilities are expanded and simplified. We have the solution
with Simplified Domains.
In the early stages of public Internet use, dividing
domains into categories like .com, .org, .net was logical. With the climbing number
of sites on the World Wide Web today, this categorization has become obsolete. As
ICANN attempts to add more categorized extensions to the legacy naming system, all
this does is run up the cost of doing business on the Internet by requiring companies
to subscribe to every new extension to protect their trademark.
Simplified Domains, which is a alternative Non-Categorized
Domain Name System, addresses the basic flaws in the current legacy system. With
46,000 possible domain extensions, Simplified Domains doesn’t restrict businesses
and organizations in their choice of domain name. There is no need to add a “www.”
a “.com” or any of the current top-level extensions. The Simplified Domains system
takes a word or phrase (spaces removed) and places the “dot” three characters from
the word ending to create a web site domain name:
- simplifieddoma.ins
- mycomp.any
- calla.cab
- players.nfl
- micros.oft
- goo.gle
- pow.wow
- phone.555
- quicktime.mov
- win.zip
Using the FireFox browser and a Simplified Domains
add-on the browser automatically places the "dot" three characters from the end
of whatever the user types. Cyber-squatting is another problem plaguing the current
naming system. Domains are being purchased strategically and solely to make money
reselling them to those who would want them for their web sites. Simplified Domains
was developed using the US Trademark database. These trademarked names will be reserved
for their rightful owners.
It’s very simple:
- With Simplified Domains, companies and organizations can be themselves. (e.g. xe.rox,
toy.ota, pizza.hut)
- Internet users have a simpler way of navigating the World Wide Web.
- Companies have millions of combinations to make names that make sense. (taxi.cab,
hot.wax, hair.cut mybusin.ess)
- Simplified Domains protects trademarks by comparing incoming domain registrations
to a trademark database and if a name is trademarked, the instantaneous registration
is stopped as extra checks and balances are required.
Everybody wins with Simplified Domains
It is important to realize this technology is an
"expansion" of the underlying power within the current domain name system, not a
replacement. We do add some power using our patent pending “3-back” system and our
trademark check, nothing else. Web providers can take advantage of this power and
still honor the traditional categories like “.com.” Setup can be done in a matter
of minutes, and since our Domain Naming System (DNS) is hierarchical, we simply
add our root servers into the “DNS food chain.” ISP’s and Website hosting companies
can point their DNS requests to a worldwide server base kept on the Amazon Cloud.
Our servers will then process these requests, sending the requests for Simplified
Domain names to the appropriate server and directing .com, .org, .net, .gov, etc.
to legacy DNS root servers. This process will be completely transparent to the user,
and since Simplified Domains maintains its root servers on Amazon’s cloud, it’s
fast.
Every day, more and more people turn to the Internet
for business and leisure. The pure simplicity of Simplified Domains solves the complex
problems of the legacy domain naming system and everybody wins.
Ever wish we could turn back the clock back on get
a decent domain name; we just did.
