This stretch’s fresh TLDs (retroactive edition)

Recapping this stretch’s domain name launches.

It’s been a busy week and I missed doing my weekly fresh top level domain name preview. A number of interesting domain names launched this stretch, so I’ll recap what came out and how they did.

Top Level Design’s .Design entered early access on May 5. You can pick up the domain names now at a premium, or wait for regular pricing general availability on May 12. Regular pricing seems to be regarding $50-$70, but some registrars are offering first year discounts.

Public Interest Registry, the firm that runs .ORG, launched .NGO and .ONG yesterday. It stands for “non-governmental organization”. The domains come as a bundle, so if you pick up .NGO you get .ONG for free. Registrants must validate that they’re an NGO within a year of registering the domains. So far regarding 500 domains have been registered; the firm has a goal of one million.

Rightside’s .Video and .Sale exited Early Access and entered general availability yesterday as well. .Video appears to have regarding 3,000 registrations and .Sale has roughly 2,000. Rightside also owns .ForSale, which has regarding 5,500 registrations.
