Trending in domain names — Blockchain is

Lots of .com domains with “blockchain” in them were registered last month.

“Block” and “chain” were among the top ten trending words in fresh .com domain name registrations last month, as stated by .com registry Verisign.

I’m not sure why Verisign didn’t combine these into just “blockchain,” but they were good for both the #3 and #4 spots on Verisign’s monthly list.

“Drone” was the number one trending keyword in .net registrations.

Here’s the full list of trending keywords in .com. Keep in mind that these rankings are not based on absolute numbers; they are based on percentage increase over the previous month.

1. Year
2. Near
3. Block
4. Chain
5. Seed
6. Floor
7. Employment
8. Webcam
9. Halal
10. Educate
