Trump is still trending…in .com

Trump, Alphabet were hot keywords in domain name registrations last month.

At some point, Donald Trump will flame out of the presidential race. Until then, The Donald is giving .com registry Verisign a bit of a bump.

For the second month in a row, “trump” made the list of Verisign’s trending keywords in .com registrations. That’s impressive since the list is created by looking at the jump the keyword made over the previous month.

And if you think Verisign completely lost out on Google’s choice of abc.xyz for Alphabet’s domain name, think again: the fresh brand also gave a boost to .com. Alphabet was #6 on the list.

Here’s the list:

1. bank
2. local
3. experts
4. trump
5. scope
6. alphabet
7. fantasy
8. tomorrow
9. method
10. teeth
