Last month ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, has released the list with more than 1,900 applications for top level domains.  With so many new domain extensions added to the root zone over the coming years it is no doubt that registrants will have the ultimate choice of getting their right domain. The supply will be endless. In open economies unlimited supply result in a low price, a very low price. Freedom Registry is a registry operator for top level domains. What sets us  apart from other registry operators is that we believe domain names should  be free. It’s time for a change. It’s time to wake up. It’s time for free domains.
