5 new gTLD’s launched yesterday into General Availability (GA) when domain names could be registered on a first come, first served basis.
Including domain names registered in the Sunrise period by Trademark Holders and those who paid an extra fee to register domain names ahead of GA in the Early Access Period (EAP) here are the total after the first day of GA:
Taxi 2,167
.Dog 1,589
.Run 1,260
.Hockey 441
.Theater 405
It should be noted that .Taxi completes with .Cab which launched a while back and has 3,256 domain names registered and .limo to some extent which has 2,838 domains registered.
Theater is the alternative, but more popular term in the US for Theatre. There is also a .broadway new gTLD but is yet to be launched.
If you’re wondering there was no application for .dogs.
.Cat has been around since 2005 as a sponsored TLD intended to be used to highlight the Catalan language and culture.
