.Sucks Gets Almost 3,400 Domain Registrations At Prices Up To $2,499 in Sunrise

June 21, 2015 by Michael Berkens

The .Sunrise period for the new gTLD .Sucks generated over 3,400 domain name registrations at pricing ranging  up to $2,500 per domain name.

Premium .Sucks Sunrise registrations were sold for up to $2,499,  with at a wholesale cost of $2,000 as set by the .sucks registry, Vox Populi Registry Ltd.

If all 3,400 registrations in Sunrise were sold at the $2K premium wholesale price,  then Vox Populi just pulled in $6.8 Million

Mark Zuckerberg registered no less than 10 .sucks domain names:

markzuckerberg.sucks

markzuckerbergreally.sucks

mzuckerberg.sucks

mzuckerbergtotally.sucks

zuck.sucks

zuckerberg.sucks

zuckerbergreally.sucks

zuckerbergtotally.sucks

zuckreally.sucks

zucks.sucks

Guess it one thing to just suck and another to really or totally suck.

Miley Cyrus registered MileyCyrus.sucks, Paris Hilton registered parishilton.sucks and Oprah registered Oprah.sucks

Hillary Clinton registered HillaryClinton.sucks, although Bill did not register his .sucks domain.

Miller Beer  were just one of many brand who registered multiple Miller sucks domains which probably are and will be costing them 7,500 a year: Miller.sucks; MillerLite.sucks and MillerTime.sucks

Sheraton registered:

sheraton.sucks

sheratongrand.sucks

sheratonresorts.sucks

sheratons.sucks

spg.sucks

spghotels.sucks

spgresorts.sucks

Even the United States Postal Service, which last I heard were losing billions spent a small fortune on .sucks domain names including:

prioritymail.sucks

unitedstatespostalinspectionservice.sucks

unitedstatespostalservice.sucks

unitedstatespostoffice.sucks

postmaster.sucks

postmastergeneral.sucks

Even Super Hero’s filed .sucks domain names, including Marvel.sucks

Company and brands in the Internet Space registered a lot of domain names like info.sucks, ninja.sucks, Godaddy.sucks although there is no domain registration for Verisign.sucks as of publication.

Many of big name Tech company’s registered their .sucks domain including Uber.sucks, Facebook.sucks, Google.sucks, Microsoft.sucks,
Instagram.sucks and salesforce.sucks to name a few.

I have no idea how but someone in Russia registered Russia.sucks in the Sunrise period.

A trademark on a country, I had no idea you could get one of those.

Many sports team, including many who do actually suck, registered their matching .sucks domain names.

However unlike other Sunrise periods of other new gTLD’s,  this time many sports teams did not choose between registering just it’s nickname or of it’ss city + nickname,  but covered all possibilities for example the San Francisco 49ers registered:

49ers.sucks

sanfrancisco49ers.sucks

sanfranciscofortyniners.sucks; and

niners.sucks

Here is the entire list:  sucks sunrise (word)

      Did Zuckdude registered these names himself ? really ? sounds more like a Registry driven speculation.
      but if so, couldnt Mr Z sue Vox Populi for “falsely portraying his ‘careness’ towards .sucks’importance” ??

    I don’t think everything on this list is a sunrise domain. Some were created after GA started.

    These registrations are totally unnecessary.

    If anyone registers yourname.sucks then you can sue them for defamation of character.

      Only if what they say is not true.

      If you refer to the simple use of .sucks, then personal opinion is a defense.

      It really depends on use.

      If nothing is there, then the simple claim that you suck through a straw is bound to cover truth as a defense.

      Of course you could go ahead and sue and provide an absolute bounty of free advertising to the website which could be counter productive to your goals.

      But other than that, I agree that these defensive registrations are a waste of time, after all Mark Zuckerberg didn’t register MarkZuckerbergSeriously.sucks or any other variation…hell, no MrZuckerberg.sucks?

    Paris Hitlon could have gone for “paris.hilton” if the .HILTON new gTLD application had not been withdrawn instead of all this crap around .sucks domains.
