New York City is on the verge of getting its very own Internet domain that will give area Web sites the option of putting an ".nyc" rather than a ".com" at the end of their addresses.
New York City is the first American city to announce its intention to land its very own top-level domain.
Barcelona and Paris are working toward getting their own domains, and former Vice President
Al Gore is backing a plan to create a ".eco" domain for green products.
"Through .nyc, we hope to make the search for New York City-related content easier than ever by providing individuals, organizations, nonprofits and others a chance to own a virtual piece of the greatest city in the world," said Paul Cosgrave, commissioner of the city Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications.
.nyc attached to the end of your Web site would be around $10.
