'''.cloud''' is a new generic top level domain name ([[gTLD]]) proposal submitted to [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program]] by [[CloudNames]], a Norwegian TLD consultancy and management services provider. CloudNames plans to provide a dedicated identity and online space for companies and organizations engaged in offering cloud-based services through the .cloud string. The company plans to operate the .cloud like the [[.com]] TLD wherein registrations of domain names will be unrestricted. CloudNames partnered with Afilias to provide back-end registry solutions to ensure that the .cloud domain name space is secured and the new [[DNSSEC]] security protocols will be implemented. <ref>[http://thetldhub.com/download/Press-Release_CloudNames-To-Apply-For-New-Top-Level-Domains.pdf CloudNames to replace the need for .com]</ref>
