Turkey is one of the fasted growing economies with a population of nearly 85 million and are attracting investors from all over the world. Unfortunately .TR has been a popular TLD used for cybercrimes and with no formal dispute process in place, it makes these extensions’ threat profile greater than ever.
We strongly recommend registering under .TR during the Grandfather phase to ensure brand rights are protected. Please reach out to your Client Server Partner if you have any questions.
.AI You Ready?
The .AI ccTLD, delegated to the island of Anguilla, is becoming more commonly associated with artificial intelligence and technology-related industries. Google recently announced that .AI will be treated as a generic TLD recognizing its significance to brands in the AI industry. Therefore, it may be a good fit for businesses or individuals that develop AI software, provide AI-related services, or conduct research in the field of AI. There has been a significant amount of media coverage recently about the potential use of AI for fraud in the future. Please reach out to your Client Service Partner if you have interest in this extension.
