The new '.blog ' TLD from Wordpress

IMc

Published on May 13, 2016

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

This looks interesting as far as domain names go. Automattic - the company behind Wordpress just revealed itself to be the buyer of the '.blog' domain extension. They hid their involvement to avoid a bidding war with Google and others.

So later this year you'll be able to get a 'yourname.blog' site. With Wordpress promoting it, it's bound to take off in a bigger way than some of the other TLDs that you never see anyone using.

( Of course if you were very rich, like Hong Kong billionaire Richard Li - you'd just apply & pay a small fortune to have your own name as a domain extension. So he can have me.richardli or if he joined WA he could have wealthyaffiliate.richardli )
