New gTLD Domain Sales: 4 sold for $12,500+, 8 for $3,000+ and 32 for $1,200+ (marriage.solutions, porn.email)

This past week the following 5 Donuts New gTLDs entered general availability with EAP: .email, .solutions, .training, .support and .builders.

The total Donuts EAP purchases from just the first 3 EAP days is at about $112,500 or more depending on the premium domain names.

Some of the sales are difficult to find as a few domains don’t have nameserves and don’t appear in the zone files. Only sales over $1,000 are reported.

There were 4 domain names sold on the 1st day of the EAP for about $12,500 each or more depending on the registration/renewal prices (premium level or no premium). These are the domain names:

marriage.solutions (daveramsey.com)
ramsey.solutions (daveramsey.com)
because.solutions (privacy whois)
pec.email

The first 3 domains were registered at Go Daddy while pec.email was registered at Enom.

Congrats Mark on getting site.builders cheap!

There were also 32 domain names bought at about $1200 each in the third day of EAP.

SMTP.com bought 4 domains such as smtpserver.solutions and email.solutions.

WebQuest.com bought realestate.training.

Campaignmonitor.com bought the domains campaignmonitor.email and createsend.email.

Dolmint, LLC bought the domains heaven.email and hell.email.

DomainPals.com bought personalized.email.

Fitch Learning from London bought learning.solutions and fitch.solutions.

I also checked all the corresponding domain names in .com and found 11 domains that were sitting unregistered today:
becausesolutions.com
orton-gillinghamtraining.com
campaignmonitoremail.com
staffordemail.com
hellemail.com
sniemail.com
softballemail.com
vivalasvegasemail.com
riministreetsupport.com
emaildeliverabilitysolutions.com
smtpserversolutions.com

Very few of the registered .com domains are owned by domainers such as peopletraining.com that is owned by Marchex. In the previous weeks many of the domains were owned by domainers. I think that the quality of the domains this week is pretty bad. I don’t really “get” .email.

Some of the purchases above might be higher that reported if the domain name is labeled as premium. Premium registration/renewals start at $50 and go all the up to $1500 per year. Prices are approximate and depend on what each registrar charges on top of the registry fee.
