Starting March, 2011, united-domains has also started the pre-registration of the new [[TLD]]s such as [[.sfo]], [[.berlin]], [[.nyc]], [[.web]], [[.eco]], [[.shop]], [[.gay]], [[.med]], [[.xxx]], [[.hotel]], [[.film]], [[.music]], which seem likely to be introduced by [[ICANN]] in 2012.<ref>[https://www.uniteddomains.com/ntld/pre-register-new-domains InternetNZ uniteddomains.com]</ref> This was generally received as misleading and unethical, given that no new TLDs had been applied for, accepted, or delegated yet. However, its "sale" of such domains is not complete, given that they are not charging or taking credit card information at this point. It seems it is a strategy mainly built around preparing and attracting customers, though some [[registrar]]s in the industry see it as foul-play that confuses customers.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/blacknight-warns-about-new-gtld-false-promises/ Blacknight Warns About New gTLD False Promises, DomainIncite.com]</ref>
