This stretch’s fresh TLDs: Save the .Earth, .Forex and more

Targeted to eco-friendly sites, .Earth launches on Thursday.

Earlier today I wrote regarding two fresh top level domain names that launched today: .broker and .forex. Investment opportunities are limited since .broker will set you back regarding $700 and .Forex is over $1,000 per year.

There are two other domain names launching this stretch.

On Wendesday, Zodiac Gemini launches .八卦, which translates loosely as “gossip” in Chinese. If you are anchored by the prices of .broker and .forex, then you won’t get sticker shock from the $300-$350 being charged for this fresh extension.

Thursday marks the launch of .Earth, a domain name targeted to “green” sites. It will compete squarely with .Green, but can also be considered a generic. Pricing is cheap compared to many fresh TLDs: GoDaddy has the domains for just $17.99.
