The domain name registrar, 1and1.com just topped 4 Million pre-reservations for new gTLD domain names.

The registrar announced earlier this week that they were accepting pre-registrations for 4 new gTLD’s, .BIKE, .SINGLES, .HOLDINGS and .CLOTHING which are different that pre-reservations.

1and1.com recently announced they have spent over $50 million dollars in television and other marketing of new gTLD domain name pre-reservations.

On October 24th 1and1.com passed the 3.5 Million mark in pre-reservations.

On October 11th 1and1.com passed the 3 million pre-reservation mark.

On September 22nd 1and1.com blew past the 2 million mark in pre-reservations.

So basically in just over a month 1and1.com added 1.5 million pre-reservations.

A pre-reservation does not require the customer to pay anything for the pre-reservation and does not really entitle the customer to much either.

However a pre-registration is different as the customer has to put in their credit card information and will be charged if the domain name is acquired for them by the registrar.

    It will be interesting to see how many of these “pre-REServerations” become real registrations…. and how many “pre-REGistrations” they get in comparison.
