Dot London and Dot Global Conclusions
12,421 .London domains (bringing the grand total to 34,968) and 1,074 .Global domains (bringing the grand total to 1,637) were registered during the first day of General Availability. From a financial perspective, given the fact that both extensions have registration fees in the $50 area, the results are not bad at all for the regist...

Did You Register Any Dot London or Dot Global Domains?
I have to admit that I’m looking forward to seeing some numbers tomorrow but personally, I decided not to go after any Dot London or Dot Global domains. When it comes to new gTLDs, I’m getting pickier and pickier. Therefore, I’m only willing to reach for my wallet if a genuinely amazing combo is available

What Will Tomorrow’s Conclusions Be?
Tomorrow might not be an extremely busy day in terms of new gTLD launches (only two General Availability phases: Dot London and Dot Global) but as a reader mentioned yesterday, a lot of conclusions will most likely be drawn. Why? Because each of the two launches is special in its own way. On the one hand, Dot London

I’ll be sharing 13 GoDaddy coupons with you guys today, including a $1.49 one (these have been pretty rare lately).

The New gTLD Launch Process – What Would You Have Done Differently?
This much is certain: a lot of mistakes have been made as far as the new gTLD launch process is concerned. What is the number one thing you would have done differently? In my opinion (I still don’t understand why they didn’t do this), confusingly similar extensions shouldn’t have been allowed. I’m sorry but ha...

Higher Registration Prices, More Profits
Mike Berkens blogged about the first day numbers for the 7 new gTLDs which entered the General Availability phase yesterday and some interesting conclusions can be drawn. With a $100-ish price tag, Dot Credit had a more than decent performance for the registry. 801 registrations may not seem like a lot but if you multiply that

I know some of you guys love numerics, so at least following the Sedo numeric domain auction that will start tomorrow might be a good idea. 264 domains are being auctioned and some of them are definitely amazing.

How Will Legacy TLDs Be Affected by New gTLDs?
Do I think legacy TLDs (Dot Info, Dot Biz and so on) will be affected by new gTLDs in a negative manner? Yes, I do. Do I think legacy TLDs will be affected by new gTLDs in a positive manner? Yes, I do. Now that everyone’s confused, it’s time to explain why my answer to both questions

New gTLD Categories?
Yesterday, I wrote a post about the fact that in my opinion, geo new gTLD (especially city new gTLDs, as Christopher Hofman pointed out in a comment) are clearly outperforming niche new gTLDs (such as Dot Furniture) but wait a second… what’s a niche new gTLD? Ok, in some cases, it’s obvious that an extension can

The first results for the newly launched Dot Hamburg (large German city) are in and after the first day of General Availability, there are 13,793 domains. Solid results and all in all, I can’t remember any geos about which you can say that they were a flop. In contrast, Dot Furniture for example only has 605

The “Too Many Similar Extensions” Situation
To give you an example, there will be 4 law-related extensions initially: Dot Attorney, Dot Law, Dot Lawyer and Dot Legal. Since we also have singular/plural-related issues such as Dot Accountant vs. Dot Accountants, I’m reasonably confident that in the future, we’ll also have a Dot Attorneys new gTLD as well as a Dot Law...

Should Domain Forums Have a Marketplace Section for New gTLDs?
I’m quite surprised that at this point, domain forums don’t have a marketplace section for new gTLDs. It would be an important step towards generating reseller market activity, so the fact that there’s no such thing yet is definitely not good at all for the new extensions. For example, DNForum as well as NamePros ha...

Domainers and Registry Operators, A Short-Term Paradox?
The Dot Investments new gTLD has 877 registrations after the first day of General Availability and while that number is not exactly impressive, the registry did reasonably well financially. Why? Because a .investments domain costs about 2x – 3x more than most new gTLDs. The cheapest price I found Dot Investments domains at was ...

High New gTLD Registration/Renwal Fees – Let’s Crunch Some Numbers
As mentioned yesterday, I liked the Dot Investments extension but at 80+ bucks a pop, I decided to pass because I just don’t see how there can be any money in it for domainers at these price levels. Let’s crunch some numbers and start with some basic considerations. First and foremost, the very best domains will not

Only Dot Investments caught my attention but the registry has chosen a registration fee that’s let’s say on the high side (you can get a dot com for 10 years at that price) and as a domainer, I for one don’t see enough upside. For this reason, I didn’t register any domains today. As far as

For How Many Years Are You Willing to Keep Renewing?
Yesterday, I posted about the fact that in the absence of end user new gTLD adoption and of course sales, domainers will not keep renewing inventory. An interesting comment to that post is worth reflecting on however: I think domainers tend to renew for several years before dropping. It is emotionally easier to pay a renewal

To be fair, now is *not* the time to start asking that question. This post’s objective is simply pointing out that the “it’s too early to ask that” argument can only work for so long. At this point yes, it works because it actually is quite early in the game but we will eventually have
