The new .name domain was created
to give people a unique idenitification on the Internet, communication
systems and
a number of other new technologies. It is the first and only global
top-level domain (gTLD) for individuals, approved by the Internet
Corporation
for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) in November 2000. The first
.name domain resolved on the Internet on 15 January 2002.
You
may use the youranimal.llamas.name identifier to simplify
access to your more valuable llamas
whether you currently
have a web address or need to have one created. There are a number
of animals with similar names so the rule of first-come first-served
applies.
With
its' recent opening, .name became
structurally and technically identical to e.g. .com and .net.
