The “Domain Explosion” has begun!
After years of waiting, the new domain extensions have finally arrived and 2 batches have already been released! Each domain is unique, and allows YOU to find a name that truly represents you online!
We will be constantly updating this blog post to highlight the new gTLDs and their launch dates so make sure to check back if you don’t see the new domain extensions that you want!
The new domain extensions available are:
Batch 1 – November 26, 2013
.BIKE, .CLOTHING, .GURU, .HOLDINGS, .PLUMBING, .SINGLES & .VENTURES
Batch 2 – December 3, 2013
.CAMERA, .EQUIPMENT, .ESTATE, .GALLERY, .GRAPHICS, .LIGHTING & .PHOTOGRAPHY
The first 60 days will be a “Sunrise Period” exclusive to Trademark Holders, but you can start pre-ordering for the domains you want today to reserve your spot on the queue!
Sunrise Period
Trademark holders that want to protect their names in any of the seven extensions during the Sunrise Period should validate their trademarks through the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH).
Trademark validation may take up to 34 days so ACT NOW before the Sunrise Period ends!
General Availability
The subsequent phase will be open to everyone and registration of domain names will be on a first come, first served basis.
