Nine new domain names have been reportedly made available as the internet domain names system undergoes a radical change. The new web address suffixes, include .bike, .clothing, .singles and .guru and the new names are expected to be released at a rate of 10-a-week. According to the BBC, the new names, formally known as generic top-level domains (gTLDs) are currently open only to those with registered trademarks and will be available to the general public in January 2014. The report said that last month four new domains were launched that included the Arabic word for ‘web’, the Chinese word for ‘game’ and the Russian words for ‘online’ and ‘website’.
