"ICANN Proposes .INTERNAL Domain for Private Home Networks"

ICANN is proposing to introduce a new top-level domain, .internal, to simplify access to home networks by replacing the traditional 192.168.x.x address for router configuration. This change aims to prevent clashes with other networks and informal use of top-level domains. ICANN initially considered 35 different strings but settled on .internal over .private due to potential privacy implications. While details on structuring the .internal domain are yet to emerge, ICANN is seeking public comments before making a final decision.

"ICANN Proposes .INTERNAL Domain for Private Home Networks"

ICANN has proposed creating a new top-level domain, .INTERNAL, intended for internal use only, to address the uncoordinated and potentially harmful use of ad hoc TLDs for private purposes. After a consultation process, .INTERNAL was chosen over .PRIVATE as the preferred TLD. While ICANN's board still needs to approve the creation of .INTERNAL, some organizations already use ad hoc TLDs for internal purposes, and ICANN advises understanding the potential costs of using private namespaces.

"Registrations Decline as Squarespace Acquires Google Domains"

Google's sale of its domain registrar business to Squarespace has led to a significant drop in new domain registrations. Following the transition in September 2023, new .com domain registrations fell by about 25% in a month, from over 250,000 to just under 190,000. Competitors like WordPress have been courting Google's former customers with offers such as free transfer and a year of service. The long-term impact of this shift is yet to be fully understood as more recent data is not available.
