.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. [1]
