OnlineDomain.com Domain Name News & Opinions
This week 5 New gTLDs enter General Availability, no New gTLD enters the EAP General Availability and no strings enter the landrush phase.
This is the slowest week in New gTLDs since February when it all began. Probably everybody is staying away from the big .NYC launch on Wednesday.
.Desi launches today the 6th of October.
.NYC is entering general availability on the 8th of October. .NYC has had a pretty successful priority/landrush phase with about 4,590 domains registered so far without all the domains that are going into auction in a couple of weeks.
Rightside launches .lawyer and .attorney on the 8th of October. Promotion on the 2 strings has been very poor so I don’t expect good results on these 2.
One Donuts New gTLD will be out of the EAP pricing and into the real (reg fee) general availability on Wednesday: .City.
It seems that Donuts is running out of extensions. In the next month it only has 1 more New gTLD coming out: .HEALTHCARE
No New gTLDs enter landrush phase this week.
You can register any Donuts domain name using the Donuts EAP that is available in registrars that sell Donuts gTLDs. EAP prices start at about $12,500 and are lowered within the course of the week until they reach the regular registration cost after the 7 day period.
Go Daddy’s early access prices are $12,539.99 for day one, $3,164.99 for day two, $1,239.99 for day three, $689.99 for day four and $189.99 for days five to seven. After day seven the regular registration cost applies.
The Donuts Early Access Program (EAP) is designed for registrants who want to secure relevant, memorable domain names the instant they’re available. The EAP takes the place of a traditional landrush for all Donuts gTLDs.
Interested individuals, organizations, businesses and others can register names on a first-come, first-served, non-restricted basis. In addition, this program allows brand owners the opportunity to obtain non-trademark domain names to help promote and protect brands, register authoritative terms for their industries, or simply get an interesting and usable Internet identity.
Early access registrations are available for the first seven days of a gTLD’s general availability. EAP commences today at 16:00 UTC (11:00 a.m. US Eastern Standard Time) and ends in a week from now, also at 16:00 UTC. Each week a series of Donuts gTLD launches, EAP will begin at 16:00 UTC on Wednesday and close at 16:00 UTC the following Wednesday.
More are on the way. In fact, Donuts will open several gTLDs each week for most of 2014.
As a reminder, each gTLD’s general availability is preceded by a 60 day process known as Sunrise, when trademark holders are able to secure their trademarked terms. Once this phase is completed, the gTLD is open for anyone to register names. Registrations are available only through accredited domain name registrars — you can find a complete and regularly updated list of registrars that sell Donuts gTLDs here.

To me, one of the big sleepers in that list is .Pizza. Unfortunately, if I want to guarantee the ones I want, it’ll cost me $13,000 each to grab them. No thanks.
The reason I see .Pizza as a sleeper is because Pizza in the US is the only category of food that has it’s own category in the phone book, because people look for pizza more than any other food when they want to order from their home or office.
Now that phonebooks are not common, they are still very highly searched. On my main coupon site, Pizza is the second most popular category people search for, behind supermarkets.
As a coupon guy, the only .NYC that’s still on my radar is BroadwayCoupons.NYC. I didn’t pay extra to guarantee it, so I’m okay if I don’t get it. I have the .Com anyway.
The problem with .pizza is that there are going to be only few domains worth buying and I am sure that all of them are going to be very high premium domains.
BroadwayCoupons.com is a nice one. 🙂
.Pizza will have two extremes. There will be some very expensive ones… and a potentially huge consumer demand.
I think there is an opportunity for domainers and web designers to grab a ton of low cost domains and make a market for them.
The fun thing is it’s pretty easy finding names, just look in the phone book, and you’ll discover that in every city you see almost the same simple names for pizzerias. In fact, you can take any first name (or multiple first name), Italian or not, and guarantee there’s a pizzeria with that name.
“Joes.Pizza”, “Franks.Pizza”, “Marios.Pizza”, “Bubbas.Pizza”. It’s endless.
At the middle, there’s city names. The big ones will go fast, so it’s easy to see a market for a name like “Denver.Pizza”.
As for high end. I’ve checked the ones I would want and they are $13,999 for the top stage pre-order. I’m not investing in any of those stages anymore. I’ve had buyers remorse every time I’ve overspent.
The problem is that middle ones you mention, the city domains, will be too expensive to invest on.
$200 or $400 per year for 100 cities and you are done.
I guess it depends on the city. I would guarantee NewYork.Pizza will not be cheap, but MercerCounty.Pizza would be at the base price.
That middle is a tough call, the larger cities have lots of pizzerias, but smaller cities or counties may not have enough to make it worth their while.
Still, I see a larger than normal registration on the horizon for .Pizza, mainly because people frequently search for it, both online and offline.
looks like the most good city sadly are gone (reserved or premium).
You are right.
I only got property.city.
nice one!
