Begin releasing collision and 2 character domains next month — Donuts to

Names will be released in batches over two months.

DonutsTop level domain name firm Donuts will begin making domain names from collision lists, along with certain two character domain names, available next month.

The domain names will be released in batches related to categories of domains, such as photography domains and financial domains. This industry-batching ought to allow the firm to market the availability to their target audiences.

Most of the names that will be released are on the name collision lists. These lists include a number of random domain names, but also some good ones.

For example, photography related domain names that were blocked due to name collisions include digital.camera, fashion.photography, family.photos and free.graphics.

The domain names will first go through Donuts’ Early Access Program, which means the domains will be available in a dutch action format for a week. Following that, the domains will be available like all other Donuts domains. I suspect many of the domain names will come with premium prices, still.

The first batch of domains related to photography will enter Early Access on June 10.
