Chicago bid for 'Olympic domain name'
Domain name news brought to you by DescriptiveDomainNames.com
Most people probably have not even considered the 2016 Olympic games yet, but Chicago is bidding to be ahead of the game, according to reports.
The city, which is currently in the running to host the 2016 games after London in 2012, is trying to obtain the domain name Chicago2016.com to use as its Olympic web site.
Though Chicago2016.com may be a generic domain name, it was registered in 2004, obstructing the city's plans for their ideal Olympic website address.
Despite the domain name Chicago2016.org still being available, the city seems to be prioritising the .com address.
This may be down to a recent ticket scam which conned residents of Britain, America Belgium and Australia out of around £30,000, suggests industry news website domainnamewire.com
Entrepreneur Scott Alliy, who owns over 1,100 dotcom domain names, recently advised businesses to invest in as many domain names as possible in order to beat off future competition.
