What do we call something 8 years old? Not new, not a baby, not even a toddler. While there is speculation about when the next round of “Not legacy TLD’s” will be introduced, let’s take a look back at the first 7 to launch in 2014.
In a post I wrote, “It’s a profit deal” I checked in on the first 7 when they were just 4 months old.
Here is what the numbers looked like:
.bike 11,308
.clothing 11,505
.guru 59,280
.holdings 4,932
.plumbing 4,363
.singles 7,012
.ventures 5,916
Over the past 8 years the sales for the first 7 have not been super exciting.
.bike 10 sales for $16.6K
.clothing 2 sales for $381
.guru 55 sales for $76.6K
.holdings sales 5 for $29.8k
.plumbing 0 sales Namebio does not even have them in the drop down list.
.singles 1 sale for $2,760
.ventures 22 sales for $48.7k

please note, that namebio doesn’t report all sales; especially not all sales from sedo are reported there. Also, the number in sales will raise over time with the number of regs. Currently, a lot of good names are still available in those extensions.
Rick was right!
lol. He’s so rarely wrong!
