With the release of hundreds of new generic top-level domains (gTLD) over the coming year, the format of the internet as we know it is set to change dramatically.

This week marks the first batch of releases of English-language domains through the online registry Donuts.

The following domains will be available for registration from Wednesday 5 February:

.camera

.equipment

.estate

.gallery

.graphics

.lighting

.photography

A distinctive technology and imaging theme runs throughout the list and the addition of the ‘.estate’ domain looks set to be popular with estate agents.

"Starting this week, new, relevant and specific Internet naming options will be available on a scale never before seen," Donuts co-founder and CEO Paul Stahura said.

"This is a unique opportunity for businesses, brands, organizations, and individuals to find an online identity that speaks precisely to their products, services and interests."
