TLD Registration

tomsolomon

I'm registering a TLD, and on the registration form it says that Hotmail and Yahoo, aren't very reliable for registering TLD's. Can anyone point me in the direction of a suitable free mail service? Thanks....
Also do I need like web hosting and other stuff????

I think you mean domain.

TLDs are the last part of a URL such as com, uk, org etc

And why do you need £600 to register it?

No I do actually mean top level domain, (.whatever) And yes, you can now register your own TDL.

NO YOU CANNOT REGISTER YOUR OWN TLD. Even the ICANN website says that. This INAIC that the tld.name website says is responsible for TLD registration ISN'T - ONLY ONE ORGANISATION IS - INTERNIC. You can only register domains under the existing or 9 new TLDs Internic introduced this year you can't have whatever.whatevertldiplease. If you actually bothered to go to talk to the organ grinder instead of the monkey, you'd have found this out:

That mickeymouse website tld.name is giving a false impression that you can have whatever TLD you want. YOU can't. A .name TLD exists so you could have forname.surname.name but that's it - whatever you registered would have .name at the end, not .whateveryou chose.

But feel free to ignore my advice and go register it, then spend ages wondering why nobody can access your site because the internets Root DNS and ISPs DNS servers will not support any other TLDs than those created by Internic.
