After debating the issue for more than a decade, ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) has given final approval for the .XXX top level domain (TLD). So, in the near future, porn sites can use the .XXX TLD instead of .COM, if they wish. However, there is no requirement that adult sites have to use the .XXX TLD. And although 250,000 of .XXX domain names are on back-order, it is not expected that this will make much of an impact. It seems that users of adult sites prefer the traditional .COM and porn site owners are not going to change over to .XXX. On the other hand, it has been reported that domain name registrars (such as GoDaddy and Network Solutions) will collectively rake in about $20 million registering the new .XXX TLD.
