New gTLD Registrations Top 125K As .Today; .Technology; .Land; .Directory Open Up Strong

February 20, 2014 by Michael Berkens

The total number of new gTLD domain name registrations have now passed the 125,000 mark as several new extensions have finished Sunrise and starting to take registrations.

.Guru continues to led the pack now topping over 35,000 registration with .Photography topping 18,000 registrations.

Quite a few new gTLD’s are hitting RegistrarStats.com for the 1st time with .Today leading the way with over 5,000 registrations followed closely by .Technology at around 4,700.

.Land which many people seem to be using to register hacks like coneyis.Land, Virginis.Land, and Fireis.Land has over 3,700 registrations, right behind is .Directory with .Construction and .Contractors having about 1,500 registrations each.

As a group the new gTLD’s have exceed many of the “22” incubate TLD’s including .Travel; .Coop; .Aero; and now .Pro and its 115K registrations.

If your wondering .com; .net; .org; .info; .biz all added new registrations yesterday as well so as we have been saying for many years domains is not a zero sum game, but an environment the number of total domains will just increase.

    Great names in the .Today are almost all taken. It took me four hours to find CountryMusic.Today (which I don’t plan to sell anytime soon).

    If you want a good .Today domain name at hand registration prices you better start searching for it now.

    “As a group the new gTLD’s have exceed many of the “22″ incubate TLD’s including .Travel; .Coop; .Aero; and now .Pro and its 115K registrations.”

    Not fair to compare brand new registrations that are fueled by hype to the older TLD’s that have gone through the pump and dump phases.

    Please someone wake me up when all this madness is gone.

    I see one good one to register but when there is the potential of lawsuit, all bets are off.

    For now I will just stick to my MarijuanaDealer business.

    Time for my puffs

    WHY one should buy and use a domain, like (e.g.) chip.technology or US.technology or PC.technology?

    well you can’t get US or PC.technology because two letters are not allowed at this point and anything matching a country code won’t be allowed unless you get the underlying country to sign off

    cool.technology could be used by any startup looking for a brandable domain in the $25K range
