ICANN has finally put an end to the decade long drama and approved the .xxx domain names. .xxx domains will be specific top-level domains (TLD) dedicated to pornography.
According to BBC, the decision is final and .xxx domains will now get a go-ahead. Thousands of porn webmasters have already reserved their .xxx domains just hoping for this approval.
The early approval for this specific domain was given around 6 years ago amid severe protests. In a recent protest in San Francisco, strangely but Porn starts decided to side with religious groups who were against creating .xxx TLD . The supporters of this special TLD have said that will help companies/individuals to filter explicit content.
The Chief executive of ICM, Stuart Lawly who will be overseeing this switch said that:
CANN’s decision to give .XXX final approval is a landmark moment for the internet.
Also with the decision about .xxx TLD coming into effect, adult websites have to repurchase their domain names. Also a new .xxx domain name will be sold at $70 each.
