Over 100,000 .App domains by now registered

Google’s .App domain name pops in first day of general availability.

Over 100,000 .app domain names have been registered following less than a day in general availability.

Google Tech Lead Ben McIlwain disclosed the number during a talk at Google I/O this afternoon.

30,000 domain names, ostensibly pre-registrations, were registered within the first three minutes of general availability.

17,000 domain names were registered during the early access period over the past week.

These are stunning numbers for a fresh top level domain name and could give all fresh top level domain names some much-needed exposure.
