About .global


As companies and businesses continue to grow internationally, they will need a domain name that reflects their business and vision.

The Internet is a borderless market place enabling companies of all sizes to secure new markets and customers for their products and services. The purpose of .global is for organisations aiming for or commanding an existing global presence.

Furthermore, .global is ideal for any business that was unable to secure their .com address. Also, companies that have determined that it was too costly to secure .com in the secondary market, or even domains in each country they wish to have presence in (i.e. .com.au, .co.uk) now have a new option through .global. Companies that choose .global see the value in identifying themselves as a global company through their domain name.

CloudNames intends to position .global as the preferred domain for companies and organisations that sell their products and services on a global basis.

The gTLD .global is a geographical descriptor that would complement or replace current global namespaces such as .com and .net, but also regional domains like .eu and .asia.

Once a company competes beyond the boundaries of a country or country-specific domain, it is a global company. Whether you compete within EU, Asia or internationally, .global offers your company a regional and global domain.

The global domains .biz, .net and .info have neither been descriptive enough nor attractive enough commercially to compete with .com. Consequently, they have not been the successes they were designed to be.

We believe .global is a much more compelling name that has a better description, more commercial appeal, and can be used for more than i.e. .net or .biz. In essence, .global is the only alternative to .com for any global business or organisation.
The security and privacy measures for any domain registrant under the new top level domains .global and .cloud will be ensured by the partnered registrar that provides the domain service. Implementing new security protocols, such as DNSSEC for all domains, will ensure a better security level for customers, compared to many other gTLDs. The technical operation of these gTLDs will be performed by Afilias Limited. Afilias is a global leader in advanced registry services.
