.Club Q1 and Q2 domain name sales report

The .Club domain name registry released its Q1 and Q2 2020 domain name sales report.

Here is the complete .club report:

The first half of 2020 has presented immense challenges to individuals and businesses everywhere as together we face the impact of a global pandemic. While many industries have seen a resulting downturn in sales, the domain industry in general has not been hit as hard given the digital nature of our business. In addition, the “stay at home” trends have encouraged an increase in online activity, including the launch of digital versions of many businesses and new online businesses, creating new demand for domain names and related services. For .CLUB in particular, the company has experienced an increase in premium sales during the first half of 2020. This increase, we believe, is attributed to the increase in online activity in general, as well as the strong need for businesses and individuals to connect and congregate virtually online. As a meaningful domain extension, .CLUB is particularly well suited for the growing number of online communities.
