==New gTLD Applications==
On May 31, 2012, CloudNames confirmed its application for [[.cloud]] and [[.global]] generic top level domain names ([[gTLDs]]) with [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program]]. According to Larsen, the proposed strings are competitive and good alternatives for the [[.com]] TLD for companies to increase the awareness of consumers about their products and services in a global scale. Larsen said, ''"Both .cloud and .global have their clear advantages. A .cloud domain will allow businesses and individuals to have their own cloud on the Internet. Likewise, a .global domain will allow businesses to secure a position on an international level."'' [[Afilias]] has been selected by the CloudNames to provide back-end registry solutions for both TLDs. <ref>[http://thetldhub.com/download/Press-Release_CloudNames-To-Apply-For-New-Top-Level-Domains.pdf]</ref>
