This stretch in fresh TLDs: .Pub, .Christmas and more

Frank Schilling tries to put you in the holiday spirit and Rightside raises its glass.

You know what amazes me? One of the .brand TLDs to “go live” this stretch, .中信 and .citic, has a better information page than some of the other fresh TLDs launching.

But readers probably aren’t interested in .brand domain names they won’t be able to register, so here’s a look at other domain names launching this stretch.

It’s Christmas in July! Your local furniture store isn’t giving discounts, but two of Frank Schilling’s holiday-themed domain names are launching Tuesday: .blackfriday and .christmas.

Expect to pay $30-$50 each.

Donuts started just one EAP the prior week, .services, so that will enter GA on Wednesday. It starts early access for four domains this Wednesday: .gripe, .exchange, .engineering, .capital.

That first one is sure to attract some attention as a “shakedown” domain.

Rightside sends a domain to general availability on Wednesday as well: .pub. Rightside is trying a more domainer-friendly approach to premiums for .pub, so it might be worth a look.
