Two companies that are bidding to win control of the .church extension informed Do-Gooder Consulting (back between June 26-28) that they could start opening up that website extension in early 2013.
So today, if you were going to try for First Baptist Church of Chicago, you might have to go with something like FBChurchof Chicago.com
That's a mouthful, and the odds are very good that people interested in the church will NOT remember the web domain name, and not look up that ebsite.
However, if we are able to take advantage of the new domain names, we could get a domain as easy to remember as www.firstbaptist.church
We at Do-Gooder Consulting, can help you secure a domain. Contact us immediate and we can set plans in place, so that when the domain (or a close alternative) opens up, we can take advantage of it.
And in the mean time, we can help you use one of the othe ravailable web domain extensions, such as .org, .me and .us as an alternative.
