Fresh TLDs on tap this stretch: .Yoga, .Sydney, .Cricket & more

A half dozen more fresh TLDs make their entrance this stretch.

Six fresh top level domain names debut this stretch, with .Sydney by now having launched yesterday. Here’s a rundown.

.Sydney – this Australian geo domain name launched yesterday. The domain isn’t carried by some of the bigger U.S. registrars, but some of the major Australian registrars have it. They aren’t cheap. Instra is asking $85. For some reason MelbourneIT quoted me $240, which must be for multiple years.

The rest of this stretch’s domain names launch on Tuesday:

.party – Famous Four Media has been quite for a while, but they’re back with two domain this stretch. Pricing seems to be regarding $25-$30.

.cricket – shop around on this sports domain name from Famous Four. 101Domain is charging only $2.49. United Domains wants $69. GoDaddy is charging $49, which it states is half of its regular $99 price. I don’t get the pricing.

.yoga – Minds + Machines debuts this athletics related domain name this stretch. Pricing is around $25-$30 retail.

.vote and .voto – You’ve got to pay for democracy, apparently. GoDaddy has “discounted” the price of these domain names to $69, which makes me think it’s targeted at politicians who will feel compelled to register their names. It ought to do better than .republican and .democrat, but that’s not saying much.
