Adult website dedicated domain name
.xxx was proposed by ICM Registration Company in Florida, USA, and ".xxx" is a dedicated domain name for adult websites, alongside the existing generic top-level domain names ".com." and ".net".

ICMRegistry, an American domain name registration service, will serve as the registrar of the .xxx domain name. The annual fee for the .xxx domain name is US$60. ICMRegistry CEO Stuart Lawley said that ICMRegistry will earn $200 million in annual revenue through .xxx domain name registration, and he plans to launch an "adult PayPal" network system to handle more than $1 billion in online adult content transactions each year. It is reported that the .xxx domain name will be officially launched around September 2013, and 200,000 pre-applications for the .xxx domain name have been received. Stuart Lawley believes that ICANN's move has allowed adult entertainment to have a clear URL definition for the first time, which can keep minors away from adult content and allow users to reduce attacks by malicious computer viruses. However, there are also organizations that oppose ICANN's approval of the .xxx domain name, believing that the purpose of ICMRegistry is to make money, and the emergence of the .xxx domain name will "threaten the independence of the entire adult industry."
ICANN was established in October 1998. It is a non-profit international organization that brings together experts from various fields of business, technology and academic fields in the global network community.

In 2008, ICANN once again rejected the application for a new top-level domain name of .xxx and challenged it. During the same period, the new top-level domain name .kids was rejected. In June 2010, ICM entered into contract negotiations with ICANN. Through ICM's efforts in financial and technical capabilities, the Board of Directors may approve the .xxx domain name.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Domain Names and Addresses (hereinafter referred to as "ICANN") officially approved the use of .xxx as a domain name exclusively for adult content websites, thus ending a decade-long debate on whether to establish an "Internet red light district". ICANN stated that because adult content often leads users to dangerous and fraudulent websites, it hopes to regulate this type of behavior through .xxx domain names. Prior to this, some porn stars and the American adult magazine Hustler strongly opposed setting .xxx as a domain name exclusively for adult content, believing that this would subject them to more scrutiny. ICM Registry is the promoter of the .xxx domain name and also serves as the registrar of the domain name. ICM Registry CEO Stuart Lawley said the annual fee for a .xxx domain name is $60. The company has received more than 200,000 pre-applications for .xxx domain names from tens of thousands of applicants. Lawley said in the statement, "This will be the first time there will be a clear URL definition for adult entertainment, which can keep minors away from adult content and allow users to reduce the risk of malicious computer viruses." Lawley said ICM Registry will earn $200 million a year from .xxx domain name registrations, and he plans to launch a "Porn PayPal" network system to handle more than $1 billion in online adult content transactions each year. The .xxx domain name will be officially launched around September 2012. In 2005, the ICANN Board of Directors voted to negotiate with ICM Registry on the latter's plan to request the establishment of a ". . Thereafter, ICM Registry appealed to ICANN's Independent Review Committee; the committee ruled in February 2012 that ICM Registry had been treated unfairly. The Free Speech Coalition, an adult industry trade association with more than 1,000 members, held a press conference this week to oppose ICANN's approval of the .xxx domain name. The Free Speech Alliance pointed out that the purpose of the ICM Registry is to make money, and the emergence of .XXX domain names will threaten the independence of the entire adult industry.

The pornography industry trade group American Free Speech Federation and prominent figures in the industry, such as Larry Flynt, have opposed the domain name. They said the domain name would expose pornographic sites to censorship.
Some Australian companies have expressed interest in registering them, but Australian Communications Minister Stephen Conroy said, "The government does not support the establishment of .xxx top-level domain names." In addition, she did not disclose relevant details.
Adult website-specific domain name .xxx was approved
Does this mean that it will be easier to block adult websites? It is best to switch adult website domain names of .com and other domain names to .xxx for easier management.
The International Internet Corporation for Assigned Domain Names and Numbers (ICANN) voted on Friday to jointly promote the previously reached contract with the US domain name registration service ICM Registry to realize the establishment and sale of domain names with the .xxx suffix. The decade-long proposal has finally come to an end and the so-called "online red light districts" will have their own independent domain name. According to foreign media reports, ICANN voted in June 2013 to initiate negotiations on a contract to establish the .xxx domain name. However, the final release of the .xxx domain name still needs to clear many obstacles. At a previous related meeting held in Cartagena, Colombia, government representatives from some countries expressed opposition to the establishment of independent domain names for adult content. However, it is unclear to what extent this will affect the birth of the .xxx domain name. .
Stuart Lawley, CEO of ICM, said that the new domain name will bring convenience to adult entertainment websites because these websites are easier to find, and consent is also good for users. Setting up a separate domain name can effectively prevent viruses and Trojan horse theft. Obtaining sensitive user information will also help combat the proliferation of child abuse images.
Relevant people said that although the .xxx domain name is controversial, ICANN has put the approval of the .xxx top-level domain name on the agenda many times, and it was finally passed on the spot on Friday. According to ICANN's two versions of the publication draft for the new top-level domain name suffix, the new top-level domain name The threshold for application and approval will be lowered.
In fact, as early as 2006, ICM Registry had applied to ICANN to open the .xxx domain name suffix as a dedicated adult website. It is convenient for Internet users to quickly identify whether a website contains pornographic content. In 2005, this proposal received preliminary approval and was planned to be introduced together with professional domain name suffixes such as .travle. But it was quickly protested by a large number of conservative groups.
