Two fresh TLDs in the wild within 100 yards of each other

Two fresh TLDs in the wild within 100 yards of each other

Two neighboring firms in Austin are using fresh top level domain names.

Fresh top level domain names are slowly being put into use. It’s not that unusual to see them in the wild anymore.

But I’ve now come across my first case of seeing two fresh top level domains on signs in close proximity to each other. Both signs are on my route home from the office.

First up is data.world, just north of the corner of Far West Blvd and MoPac in Austin:

data-world

Travel 100 yards south and you come across ARC.clinic:

ARC.clinic

Both of these domains are under Donuts’ top level domains, which isn’t very surprising. Donuts has released many more domains than other TLD firms, with almost 200 available for registration without restrictions.
