Fresh TLDs this stretch: .Quebec, .Top and .Engineer
A few fresh TLDs hit registrars’ shelves this stretch, counting a sizable geo domain.
A few top level domain names coming out in a week is the fresh normal, so I’m going to stop calling these “slow” weeks. Here’s a look at this stretch’s fresh top level domain name rollouts.
.Quebec – Quebec gets its own TLD this Tuesday, but its government is going to sit on the sidelines thanks to the price tag of transitioning. The domain does not carry geographic restrictions, so people outside Quebec can register the domains.
.Top – Chinese firm Jiangsu Bangning releases this domain name in general availability on Tuesday. In Chinese the word means “breakthrough”, as stated by the firm. Let’s hope the Chinese meaning is popular, since this domain doesn’t have much potential in English. I’d compared it to .best. “Best” and “top” belong ahead of the word they’re describing in English, which makes the TLDs seem backward.
.Engineer – This Rightside domain name is right now in the Early Access phase, and reverts to regular pricing on Wednesday. Donuts released the similar .engineering domain name in July and has regarding 1,850 registrations in the zone file.
