Removing restrictions on .Place domains — Donuts is

Everyone will be allowed to register .place domains (again).

Domain name firm Donuts is making .place a generic domain again.

In 2018, the firm partnered with Geo.Network to use .place domains in its geofencing platform.

Donuts stated at the time, “The TLD .PLACE will now be used exclusively for end users (people, businesses and other organizations) who wish to create, name and assign specific rules and permissions for their geofences.”

The firm restricted .place registrations to people using them with the geofencing platform.

It doesn’t seem to have taken off; there are only regarding 3,500 registered .place domains.

On June 1, Donuts will remove the restrictions. People will be able to use .place domains just like other domains.

Donuts will continue its partnership with Geo.Network. .Place domains can be registered for geofencing applications or for regular websites.

Retail prices ought to be regarding $10 for the domains. It ought to compete well with other generic extensions like .site and .online.
