Donuts and Rightside release 6 fresh domains on Wednesday

…And they’re some of the better domains released so far.

Remember the good ole’ days of the middle of 2014, when mega-registry Donuts would release four of five fresh top level domain names every week?

Well, they’re back. For one week, anyway.

Donuts will launch four fresh domain names at “regular” pricing this stretch following the conclusion of their early access phases: .business, .network, .immo and .pizza.

.Business and .Network are interesting since they are long-form versions of the existing TLDs .biz and .net, respectively. Donuts has priced them competitively — you ought to be able to find them for under $20 each.

I think .business will do really well. Donuts’ .firm domain, for a comparison, has regarding 35,000 registrations.

.Immo (abbreviation of the French term “immobilier”, meaning real estate) is priced in the next highest tier, and .pizza is one higher than that.

Rightside launches .Auction and .Software at regular prices starting on Wednesday, too. Expect to pay around $30 for a one year registration. I think these are two of Rightside’s strongest TLDs to date.
