Description
"Q. What is Dot-Bit?
A. Dot-Bit (.bit) is a new top-level domain that, unlike Dot-Com, Dot-Net, Dot-UK, etc., is NOT controlled by any government or corporation.
Q. How much do these domains cost? Are they hard to register?
A. You can register a Dot-Bit domain today using the inexpensive cryptocurrency, Namecoin (a derivative of BitCoin). Dot-Bit domains currently cost about 7 cents US to register, and you don’t have to go through anyone else to do it. It’s easy to do, and we’ve written tutorials on how to do it and where to get Namecoin.
Q. What are the advantages of Dot-Bit?
A. Dot-Bit domains are extremely resistant to being shut down or hijacked by governments, corporations or criminals. Dot-Bit domains are THE decentralized alternative to building your whole web presence on a Dot-Com or other top-level domain that can be shut down at any time for any reason by any government without due process."
