I haven’t made a post with New gTLD launches in the past couple of months because I thought that most people knew about them but a few of my readers complained so this weekly post is back.
This week 4 New gTLDs enter General Availability and another 4 New gTLDs enter the EAP General Availability.
Uniregistry launches .Christmas and .BlackFriday on Thusday, July 8th 2014. .Christmas is much better than .BlackFriday because it can have a wider range of uses around the world and Christmas preparations last as long as 2 months in many countries. .BlackFriday simply refers to a single day of sales and is only limited to the US.
Donuts enters EAP General Availability for the following 4 New gTLDs on Wednesday, July 9th 2014: .Capital, .Engineering, .Exchange and .Gripe.
.Engineering is my favorite of the 4 but that might be because most of my family and friends are engineers… .Exchange might get some limited interest but I don’t see a lot of resale potential. .Capital might have some appeal to some very few companies but I expect very low registration numbers. .Gripe I don’t like at all. There are much better alternatives coming soon.
Rightside Registry launches .pub this week. .Pub enters general availability on Wednesday, July 9th 2014. This New gTLD is mainly targeted to pub owners.
One Donuts New gTLD will be out of the EAP pricing and into the real (reg fee) general availability on Wednesday: .Services.
You can register a .Capital, .Engineering, .Exchange and .Gripe 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.
