.XXX Sunrise Extended To Monday

October 28, 2011 by Michael Berkens

According to an email just received from Moniker the deadline to Submit Sunrise .XXX domain name applications has been extended until Noon EST Monday October 31st.

The Sunrise period was originally suppose to close today.

Here is the message we got from ICM registry:

“”Due to unprecedented demand in the last week and following several requests from major registrars for more processing time for their backlogs, ICM Registry has extended the Sunrise A and Sunrise B registration periods for an additional three days to conclude Monday, October 31, 2011 at 16:00 UTC (Noon ET).

This extension provides prospective registrants valuable time to secure their domains and protect their brands.””

Here is the email we just received from Moniker.com

“”Triple X Domain Sunrise Has Been Extended to October 31!

Sunrise A+B: Now Ends October 31, 2011

Great News! ICM Registry, responsible for the Dot Triple X sTLD (sponsored Top Level Domain), has extended Sunrise A and Sunrise B registration periods for an additional three days to conclude on Monday, October 31, 2011 at 16:00 UTC (Noon ET). This extension provides prospective registrants valuable time to secure their domains and protect their brands.

Sunrise A is the time when trademark owners and matching domain owners can apply for dot Triple X domain names. This phase is now in-progress and ends October 31st at 16:00 UTC (Noon ET).

Sunrise B is the time when non-adult industry trademark owners can apply to opt-out of dot Triple X. This phase is now in-progress and ends October 31st at 16:00 UTC (Noon ET). Remember it’s as if the domain does not exist when the domain is blocked under Sunrise B. Be sure that you want a permanent block before applying as the block cannot be reversed.””

    not for me, probably I not buy not even one .xxx also since the most valuable are already taken or reserved, to be auctioned later at high prices (as happened with the best .co)

    Not for me either, for the same reasons

    Not for me either as the porn market is oversaturated.

    well my understanding is there are well over 60,000 that disagree with you

    “well my understanding is there are well over 60,000 that disagree with you”……….

    You could have said the same thing during the “sunrise” period for .mobi and .co also…………

    No

    As I said in a previous post there were under 15K Sunrise applications for either .co or .mobi

    so what are the rules if someone registers a .xxx and does not use it for adult content?

    this is not .mobi

    people have been typing .xxx since the dawn of tld’s.

    and they will continue to do so.

  8. curious says

    October 28, 2011 at 4:38 pm

    no one types .mobi unless someone tells them they should.

    “no one types .mobi”

    yes, .mobi is a strange TLD

    I’ve registered a couple of .mobi but still I don’t know WHY πŸ™‚

    Why do they have so many sunrise applications ? I would assume, that the TM holders simply don’t want to see porn on their brand. The number of sunrise applications doesn’t indicate that .XXX will be used or generally accepted/adopted. Coca Cola for example will not use the domain, but will get it to protect their name/reputation.

    If these doamins are in such high demand, why are some reducing the price? http://blog.lexsynergy.com/2011/10/xxx-sunrise-b-price-reduction.html

    Ann

    This is just one registrar lowering their price.

    there are like 70 or so registrars and the wholesale price, the money the registry charges the registrar has not changed

    .mobi was the brainchild of someone who had previously exploited the concept of defensive registratons. specifically, defensive registrations of cctlds.

    and some companies, e.g. maybe a florist or a bank, did buy .mobi

    they took the bait. why? fear? uncertainty?

    is .xxx able to leverage a fear-based response from companies? there is no requirement that .xxx domain names be used for adult content?

    the web as a business vehicle is a very manipulative environment. not only of end users, but of corporations as well.

    e.g. you could buy your own domain name for a few million and then issue a press release but not mention the buyer and seller are the same person. just say you are the broker who handled the deal. some would immediately make assumptions about the value of domain names based on that “news”. they might not ask for the names of the buyer or seller or for proof that any money actually changed hands. you are now a market maker.

    cctlds (country codes) and .xxx have natural traffic. they have meaning that predates the web and predates tld’s representing these abbreviations.

    .mobi is different. to sell .mobi requires some substantial preexisting hype to ride on (=mobile) or a fair bit of manipulation to convince buyers it’s “the next big thing”. if you don’t register, you’re competitors will. use fear to motivate the buyer.
