calder.family

Okay, this might be a waste of $25, but I think it's worth the gamble.

I just registered calder.family at New.net, a company that has started registering top level domain (TLD) names without ICANN approval.

After trying unsuccessfully to obtain calder.com from an accountant who lives in Aldernay (one of the Channel Islands) for the last 4 years, I jumped at the chance to prospect on this domain.

Why do I want calder.family? Well, when I started registering domains, I thought that having calder.com would be a great way for me and all my relatives to have a persoanl email address. Now that calder.family is being offered, I decided to take the chance.

Here are the 20 new TLDs New.net is offering:
