The definition of “sexy” is more or less global: something or someone attractive, due to their looks, appearance or behavior. It’s a term that’s deep-rooted into the human psyche, and it just so happens to be a new gTLD from Frank Schilling’s Uniregistry<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I won’t ponder why dot .Sexy was chosen – along with dot .Tattoo – as the launching pair; the strategy behind such gTLD premieres resides with each Registry.<\/p>\n

There are rules, however, to this particular gTLD, which can range in registrations from the innocent or absurd<\/strong><\/a>, to explicitly hard core.<\/p>\n

The basic rule to remember: you cannot display hardcore pornography on the landing (home<\/em>) page of a dot .Sexy domain name. You can display sensual, erotic or other types of adult content that do not fall into the hardcore porn category.<\/p>\n

If you plan to utilize your dot .Sexy domain as a pornographic web site, then you are required by Uniregistry to provide a landing page, warning others about the content of the web site.<\/p>\n

There are no other restrictions, and I’m certain that while some will see dot .Sexy as a rather innocent outlet of appealing content, some will treat it as a cheaper, better version of .XXX.<\/p>\n

Personally, I’ve no interest in the latter, and my entire dot .Sexy portfolio – fewer than 10 domains<\/em> – is related to the definition of sexy, as described\u00a0 in my opening paragraph.<\/p>\n

Either way, welcome to the new era of brands and gTLDs.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
