1st Day Of New gTLD Launches .Community 2,206; .Cards 1,027; .Catering 854; .Cleaning 751

June 19, 2014 by Michael Berkens

For new gTLD launched yesterday and the total registrations for all four of Donuts strings after the 1st day of general availability came under 5,000 registrations including Sunrise and Early Access Program registrations.

Here are the totals for the new gTLD that launched yesterday according to ntldstats.com:

.Community 2,206

.Cards 1,027;

.Catering 854

.Cleaning 751

It certainly caught my eye that the new domain extension that had the most registrations after its first day was the longest of the four.

Fortunately for anyone who got a .Community domain and wants a shortener  to go with it there is already two extensions for that

.Com

.Co
Also worth noting that yesterday .Berlin passed .Tel.

.Tel was launched in December 2008.

According to RegistrarStats.com, .Berlin has 137,713 to .Tel 137,709.  

Even with the free promotion ended, we expect we will see that gap increase over the years.

    Hmmm what happens at renewal time next year with free domains? They become expired domains, and the numbers go south… If .berlin thought they had paid growth, they would not have let their zone files triple for free, they actually lost money.

    Well if they got end users the over 3 million residents of the city to register domains for themselves and/or their businesses then there would probably a high renewal rate and since new gTLD’s for almost everyone I chatted with are regarded to be a long term play it wouldn’t have been bad but since over 90% of the free domains were grabbed by two domainers, then not so good
