Whonami-Rightside is Owing a New Number of Domain Names: .FAMILY .STUDIO and .LIVE

Rightside is Owing a New Number of Domain Names

The world major domain provider Rightside has released a statement announcing its latest three new addresses acquisitions that will be accessible for the customers: .FAMILY, .STUDIO, and .LIVE, addresses that are promised as better equivalents to .com.

As an example, the .FAMILY domain extension is managed for activities such as family blogs, personalized email addresses or social arrangements. A specific use of the domain is when consumers want to keep in touch each other or for tracking family ancient times.

Due to the fact that are more than 400 000 domains ending in .com that contain the term “studio” , .STUDIO became a TLD with a wider market to address. .STUDIO domain is destinated for those fervent consumers about art, design, yoga, beauty and architecture that already own a website and are craving for one easy to remember by their guests.
The .LIVE domain is in connection with other domains like . NEWS, .SOCIAL and .VIDEO, which are appropriate for broadcasting live events for their users as interviews or concerts.

Rightside CEO, Taryn Naidu, affirms about the new gTLDs domains the following:

“ While the majority of companies are trying to find new methods of increasing and improving their online presence, we are conscious that it is stimulating to preserve their brand identities.
We feel that we enhanced our archive of TLDs with .FAMILY, .STUDIO, and .LIVE by giving the consumers more unique and detailed domain name options to harmonize their brand to every online activity they are having.”

Throughout time Rightside became known as being one the most interested companies in giving their users several ways of displaying their businesses online. Their field of specialization is in domain name services and has their headquarters situated in three continents: America, Europe and Australia.
For this year, Rightside has planned by launching .FAMILY, .STUDIO, and .LIVE to increase its number of domains up to 39 new TLDs.
