.ONLINE Is The Fastest New Extention To Sell 100,000 Domains

radix-onlineAfter a very successful launch (38,000 domains in the first 24 hours) and breaking all nTLDrecords, .online surpassed 100,000 domain registrations this morning. Radix shared the 100,000th domain to be registered  – myfamilyroots.online that came through eNom.

While .online got a jumpstart at general availability, the TLD has maintained momentum and climbed to a top 15 nTLD spot in less than 3 months from GA.  The TLD has featured on several registrar storefronts like GoDaddy, 1&1, Namecheap (retailing around the $9-$15)  that have played a significant role in getting the TLD so high up in the ranks, so early.

Sandeep Ramchandani, Business Head of Radix “It is definitely an exciting time for us & we’re glad that all the effort & resources invested in this extension are coming to fruition. The next year is going to be EVEN bigger & we’re certain .online will emerge as one of the leading new extensions.”  This milestone comes at a time as Radix surpasses 1 million Domains Under Management.  A quick scan of the .online zone through DataProvider pulls out some interesting data points:

  • 100+ sites in Alexa 1 million & it’s the 2nd fastest nTLD in terms of new additions to the Alexa 1 million list (for the last 30 days)
  • 70% domains between 3-10 characters

Here’s a testimonial from one of their customers summing up why .online works and why the TLD is where it is today ““online embodied the nature of our business more than other options. We love the fact it’s not connected to a country, but that it’s connected to a concept. We’ve received a lot of positive feedback with the new extension, and it’s resolved a lot of confusion our previous country based extension had. We believe .online is the best extension for business like ours!” – Melinda Jacobs, Founder & CEO www.clustr.online

  1. Thanks for sharing. How do you feel about dot online domains for investment? I don’t own many but I do like the extension.

  2. Great Report Konstantinos — Was considering to drop mine, but things are looking to good to have regret’s of a bad drop — Keep up your Excellent Work !!!

  3. I had registered a quite number of .online domains and demand for this domain extension keeps increasing: eVoting.online, llb.online, bargaining.online, flightbookings.online, etc. The future of this domain extension is bright and in little or no time, it will appear the most relevant, the most important, the most flexible domain extension of all time!

  4. I think it goes a bit over the top to look at how many pages are developed etc. Anyway, it is a good extension, one of the better ones.
