Title: .XXX web domain registration begins
Post by: zappaDPJ on Sep 07, 2011, 17:10:15
QuoteCompanies and celebrities are being given the chance to protect their names from porn hijacking ahead of the launch of the .xxx web domain.

From today, brands can request to have their name blocked from use with the new suffix, which goes live next year.

Existing adult entertainment sites can also submit their application to reserve a spot on .xxx

The "red light" suffix is intended to make it easier to find or avoid sexually explicit material online.

I like the positive approach myself :laugh:

It's time I registered a new domain - it would certainly get noticed in emails. ;D

I'm sure it's a coincidence that they've launched this as the government are debating banning adult sites here ::)
