    I was wondering about this but for IPV6 claiming a lot of popular names.



    From wiki
    Every device on the Internet must be assigned an IP address in order to communicate with other devices. With the ever-increasing number of new devices being connected to the Internet, the need arose for more addresses than IPv4 is able to accommodate. IPv6 uses a 128-bit address, allowing 21 ^ 28th, or approximately 3.4×10 ^ 38th addresses, or more than 7.9×10 ^ 28th times as many as IPv4, which uses 32-bit addresses. IPv4 allows only approximately 4.3 billion addresses. The two protocols are not designed to be interoperable, complicating the transition to IPv6.

    so as i understand it the internet is about full and the "new" internet is not compatible.
    so what happens to domain names??

    The long and short of it is, IPV4 is not forward compatible to IPV6, however IPV6 is Backwards compatible to IPV4.

    Instead of messing with current standards of .com, .net, .org and others we are familiar with, they have instead slowly been adding new "top level" extensions. They have been creating extensions that are specific and oriented to a business type or purpose. There have been over a dozen new domain extensions added now.
