This stretch’s fresh TLDs: .Bayern, .ovh and .deals

A geo and an open .brand top level domain name launch this stretch.

It’s a slow week again for fresh top level domain names, and that will be the case going forward for awhile.

On Tuesday, the geo domain .bayern (Bavaria) launches.

On Wednesday, Donuts releases .deals in general availability. .City will enter the Early Access Phase.

Next week Donuts won’t send any domains to EAP, as it is running low on domain names to release.

There’s an interesting launch on Thursday. OVH, One of Europe’s largest webhosts, launches .ovh. Although it’s a brand, they’re opening it up to everyone.

As stated by the firm, it disclosed .ovh as an April Fools’ joke back in 2009 and received 22,000 requests to register them. That convinced the firm to apply for .ovh when ICANN opened up the fresh TLD program.
