The .ing top-level domain
- Sander_Marechal 3y agoGreat. There's a Dutch bank called ING. I can't wait for all the phish.ing to start. IMHO all those new TLDs are just a huge mistake and a blatant money-grab.
- ahmedfromtunis 3y agoThey already got the bank.ing domain name.
- agilob 3y agobut do they have fuckof\f.ing for submitting complaints? Edit: HN doesn't accept FO as one word, it replaces the last `f` with `i`. Try it yourself.

- agilob 3y agoLet me test it again... Edit: No I swear, when I typed fuckingoff.ing and post the comment it shows as fuckingofi.ing to me. I edited the post a dozen of times and it always displayed something else. I tested it even on two browsers!

- KeplerBoy 3y agoAnd they use it to remind people that the .ing tld is a bad idea.
- moehm 3y agoWith this gem on their side: > While bank.ing is managed by ING, please be aware that any other domain ending with .ing is not an ING website.

- valianteffort 3y ago[flagged]
- phkahler 3y ago>> IMHO all those new TLDs are just a huge mistake and a blatant money-grab. Especially with this one. There is no room for competition since each verb can only be used once with the ing suffix. Well, competition for who is willing to pay the most, but from the consumer side there can only be one URL.
- toast0 3y agoi mean, if you can't get fuck.ing/cool, you can go with reallyfuck.ing/cool or getsurf.ing gosurf.ing learnsurf.ing or justhang.ing/out etc I think I'm at my limit of dumb domain names for no reason though, so I'll pass on this round.
- supermatt 3y agoReallyfuckingcool.net or .org available, same for getsurfing, learnsurfing and justhangingout. With all these domains there’s no real point unless you are getting a dictionary word or a specific name, imho.
- FireInsight 3y agoreallyfuckingcool.ing
- zymhan 3y agoGreat for an HVAC company
- pdntspa 3y agoWhich just outlines how it is a money-grab for existing property owners. Yet another stupid vanity domain you're forced to add to your portfolio!
- marcus_holmes 3y agoI wonder if we're at the point that the costs of registering a new TLD are immediately recouped from the set of large businesses that must register their name in every TLD?
- expertentipp 3y agoMobile app is already first class citizen at ING in some EU countries. One is unable to make transactions or even is locked out completely from all online channels after losing access to their mobile app, or if their app simply stops responding on tapping the "Confirm" button. Web is merely second class citizen. No idea how they arrived to this retarded architectue. Submitting any kind of architectural feedback to a bank is hopeless and helpless, these fuckers always know better.
- taway1237 3y ago> No idea how they arrived to this retarded architecture 2FA is known to increase security drastically. It's easy to understand why it's a good idea. EU banks in particular do this because 2FA for banks is mandated by a EU level directive. > Submitting any kind of architectural feedback to a bank is hopeless and helpless, these fuckers always know better. In this case they clearly do.
- aidenn0 3y agoThere are lots of options for 2FA that don't require me to install a bloated and buggy app that only supports one bank.
- Tijdreiziger 3y agoYou don't have to install it, you can ask them to send you a physical 2FA device instead.
- expertentipp 3y agoThey charge money for physical 2FA device. https://www.ing.de/hilfe/auftraege-freigeben/phototan/ https://www.ing.de/hilfe/auftraege-freigeben/phototan/
- expertentipp 3y agoIn at least one EU country the only available free of charge second factor of 2FA at ING is their FULL MOBILE BANKING APP. You're posting a comment at HN explaining that "mobile banking app is 2FA because security because EU", are you working there?
- heipei 3y agoUgh, when I saw the HN headline about this TLD I thought it belonged to ING Group, just like .barclays and .chase belong to their corporate owners. Just shows how suited this TLD is for phishing...
- s3p 3y agoDon't they sell .zip TLDs now too?
- rekoil 3y agoYes, they do, huge mistake ...but a lot of fun!
- lolsowrong 3y agoExplain why it’s a huge mistake, please.
- wholinator2 3y agoI think the idea is ambiguity between a zip file from your coworkers website and an entirely separate phishing website which downloads an entirely different zip file with a malicious payload. Anything that introduces unnecessary and previously unforseen ambiguity to the olds is just another path to filling the internet with scams
- Clamchop 3y agoBrowser vendors should just splash users with one of those click-through security warnings. Make it bright yellow. I'd be very entertained by drama from owners of those domains, but in my opinion, such a thing would be completely justified.
- afavour 3y agoHere’s the problem: the biggest browser vendor is the one selling the domains!
- ddlsmurf 3y agoor maybe they'll buy a whole bunch of insult domains imveryunhappywith.ing dontuse.ing, yourmotherhasapreferenceformassagetoolsfrom.ing
- withinboredom 3y agothat's so insult.ing
- Refortified 3y agoIt is, the reasoning along as to buy an .ing domain is laughable at best. it does nothing that a .com isn't already doing
- kmeisthax 3y agoI mean, strictly speaking, this argument could apply to any public suffix. Why not have every site be its own TLD in a single global namespace?
- jeroenhd 3y agoI can't wait for creditcard.ing, pinpas.ing, debitkarte.ing, cartededebit.ing, and all the others to be sent across the world. Might as well pre-emptively add .ing to every phishing list out there.
- hackeredje 3y agoexactly my fist thought :)
- jjoonathan 3y agoYeah but what are the AOL Keywords for these sites?
- drcongo 3y agoI don't quite get why Google are allowed to operate as TLD market these days.

- 0cf8612b2e1e 3y agoJust making expensive land out of the ether.
- broast 3y agoI don't really get godaddys pricing on these or what exactly they buy you. They're claiming this price is to preregister to maximize your chance to own it. There is a base rate of $19.99 per year but depending on what word you enter, it quotes up to $12k Bang.ing = 12k; Smash.ing = 3k; Gni.ing = 100; Whyaresomecheaper.ing = 19.99
- kykeonaut 3y agob.ing goes for 130k

- bagels 3y agoThe real price is >$1M, try to do the checkout.
- huhtenberg 3y ago> suisse.ing Yeah, excellent.
- cochne 3y agoFor those who are unaware 'engineering' in Swiss German is "Ingenieurwissenschaften"
- tempay 3y agoIs that an obvious association to the relavent audience? Mixing the French “suisse” with the German abbreviated “ing” is a little odd to my (french) eyes. Or is suisse also common in Swiss German?
- hnbad 3y agoIDK how representative I am but as a German "Suisse" is clearly referring to Switzerland (maybe because it's in some Swiss brand names, e.g. Credit Suisse?) and my two associations with "ing" are ING direct banking and industrial engineering (outside the Bachelor/Master system the degree title prefix for a professional engineer was/is commonly indicated as "Dipl. Ing."). But I wouldn't overthink this. Someone likely pitched this as a clever marketing campaign to show "technological leadership" (the news section has an article dedicated to the site being one of the first .ing domains as if this is a meaningful technological achievement) and got funding for it. That doesn't mean the site will be there or be maintained a few years from now.
- emaro 3y agoNo, Suisse isn't common in Swiss German at all, except for the 'brand', e.g. same as Swiss. suisse.ing is really weird though for someone like me who is from Switzerland and speaks German and English.
- huhtenberg 3y agoGiven that French cantons don't speak German and German cantons would rather speak English than be caught speaking French, no, I doubt this linguistic concoction is obvious to either. Might work in Fribourg, which is bilingual, but that's still a stretch.
- kkarimi 3y agoGoogle went from allowing you to buy domains with one click to now showing you logos of companies you can buy them from, not even making them clickable
- gnu8 3y agoThe DNS is serious internet infrastructure, not your play toy. The practice of selling TLDs to every two bit dotcom was a mistake and needs to end.
- cnity 3y agoDomain registration is the most fascinating interaction between multiple outlooks. There's the true hacker spirit of DNS resolution as a technology. There's the lawful bureaucracy of ICANN shoe-horning the technology into a legal framework. Then there's the capitalism of registry "operators" who appear to exist almost solely to navigate ICANN. It really feels like there ought to be a better system.
- riffic 3y agodomains are almost as Lindy (a concept that explains the longevity of things like ideas or technology) as circuit switched telephone numbers. We're not going to shake the concept away for a very long time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_number https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_number
- cnity 3y agoThis is kind of what I mean. You're talking about the DNS part alone here. I can encourage all of my friends to pass `/etc/hosts` around, just like those in Stanford originally did with HOSTS.txt, and I have domains.
- quickthrower2 3y agoAOL almost did it. But a domain is now a virtual signal. Most adverts are "search X" or advertising online already so there is a link. There are plenty of cool non-english but pronounceable words out there you can .com let alone cute things .so, .be, .co, .io, .ai, .gg, .dev, etc.
- acheron 3y agoBut ICANN makes a lot of money off of it, and isn't that the important thing?
- bluish29 3y agoSo as I understand, they sold the Google domain business to Squarespace but will keep Google Registry with all its questioning new TLDs like .zip.
- riffic 3y agothere's a clear (to the general public, it's absolutely not at all clear) separation of concerns between registries, registrars, and registrants. Google Domains was a registrar. the Registry itself has some arcane and obfuscated corporate name that was something entirely different from Google LLC (Charleston Road Registry Inc)
- bluish29 3y ago> the Registry itself has some arcane and obfuscated corporate name that was something entirely different from Google LLC (Charleston Road Registry Inc) That's interesting, more interesting is that Google created this Inc to workaround ICANN requirements "Charleston Road Registry (CRR), also known as Google Registry, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Google. Because ICANN requires that registrars and registries remain separate entities, and Google is an ICANN-accredited registrar, CRR exists as a separate company from Google. We offer equivalent terms to all registrars in terms of pricing, awarding domains, or any other domain operations; we'll partner with any ICANN-accredited registrars that are interested in our domains and meet any additional criteria that we set for a TLD." [1] [1] https://www.registry.google/faqs/ https://www.registry.google/faqs/
- t-writescode 3y agoThis is pretty common, as far as I understand. Many registries will run their own registrar, but I don’t believe they can give any special anything for their registrars compared to other registrars.
- junon 3y ago.me in particular is moving to square space, and Google shut off all of my automatic renews because of it, wreaking havoc when a few of them expired recently. Just as a heads up.

- 0cf8612b2e1e 3y agoWhere does this land legally now? Could Microsoft go to ICANN and demand you hand it over for the registration fee or is it first come first serve?
- imbusy111 3y agoYes, they can demand you hand it over and you will hand it over.
- jancsika 3y agoDo they have to pay you for it?

- spurgu 3y agoThat's insane to me. Edit: I kind of get it with .com domains, but all TLDs?
- mywittyname 3y agoPretty much. It is a trademark and holders have to defend against infringements if they want to keep it. You might win in court/arbitration if you have a legitimate reason for owning the domain, but you're going to need deep pockets to pull it off and be willing to put up with the harassment of a company that has infinity money and wants to crush you for sport.

- SXX 3y agoIt's exactly what Google want you to do. They made majority verbs prohibitevely expensive premium domains to take their cut.
- mywittyname 3y agoWhich is extra dumb because people won't recognize danc.ing as a legitimate domain and the owners are going to have to pay up for dancing.com or end up with a cheaper alternative called like thedancingapp.com.
- agilob 3y agoThe domains are now super expensive (for individual clients), but will get cheaper with plan https://www.domainregistry.de/ing-domain.html https://www.domainregistry.de/ing-domain.html
- nonameiguess 3y agoGoogle registry indicates Namecheap is a preferred partner and supports .ing: https://www.registry.google/register-a-domain/ https://www.registry.google/register-a-domain/ Yet when I go to Namecheap and attempt to register a .ing, it tells me "unsupported TLD." Which is it?
- coopreme 3y agoBooooo
- xingped 3y agoIt seems domains are in a "pre-registration" period, of which only some subset of registrars seem to be supported at this time.
- CydeWeys 3y agoNamecheap isn't supporting the Early Access Program, so if you want to buy through them you'd have to wait until General Availability in December (and hope no one else got the name first through a different registrar that is doing EAP).
- wnevets 3y agoCan't I wait to buy these with domains.google!

- starttoaster 3y agoI run `thatwas.notverycash.money/ofyou/` and can tell you without a doubt that this is a great idea that is not at all necessary to act on. You'll get a couple laughs and then it's just a $15/year fee for the domain lingering over your head and credit card.

- izolate 3y agoNobody is actually doing anything interesting with these. It all seems to be marketing landing pages intended to direct you to the real URL.
- bakugo 3y agoTurns out companies don't want to abandon whatever perfectly good domain they've already been using for decades just so they can have a funny TLD, who would've thought. Only new brands can really benefit from it.
- erhaetherth 3y agoYou mean the new brands/companies that don't already have billions of dollars in revenue and can't afford to buy them? Cool, cool.
- deleted 3y ago[deleted]
- gorkish 3y ago> Nobody is actually doing anything interesting with these. Now wait a second, that's not at all true. In my experience there are armies of people who use them to launch targeted phishing attacks at my business if they buy the goddamn thing before I do. At a certain point if you are lucky enough to have a business that's worth targeting, every new gTLD is just another fuck.ing security expense. Is phish.ing available?
- jeroenhd 3y agoMost phishing I've encountered comes from .com, in my experience. Everything but ccTLDs seems to be listed in some kind of spam filter (I tried to email from a personal .xyz domain for a while, it just doesn't work). .ru is also quite popular for some reason, but that seems to be mostly untargeted phishing attemps. Most shit comes from legitimate(-looking) gmail.coms and outlook.coms. I have a feeling people trust .com and .net more than they trust .zip and .mov. Without .com, the URL just looks weird to some people. I can see why you dislike new TLDs if you're trying to protect your company, but you'll always have that problem. It's not like you're going to transfer money to the Taliban to register yourcompany.af, but criminals don't care, the money they transfer is probably stolen anyway. One exception is the fact that there's an international bank called "ING". They've already registered bank.ing but I don't think they can come close to claiming all possible phishing attempts for their customer base.

- NKosmatos 3y agoGreat, another goldmine "discovered" by Google. They'll make loads of money out of thin air and in the meantime allow people to create some confus.ing and phish.ing web sites (sorry for the pun :-))
- DerekBickerton 3y agoI've reached generic TLD fatigue. There's a new one each week. I regularly buy domains with OVH since they have a wide array of TLDs at a good price[0]. Over the years I let many of them expire because either 1) I let my dreams die, or 2) I couldn't afford to renew it. Mostly it's because I let my dreams die, not financial shortcomings though.

- expertentipp 3y agoDomain squatting is not what it used to be... unless it's max 5 characters in total, simply let it go.
- 1970-01-01 3y agoThat's a very succint way of putting it. Exotic TLDs are completely unecessary to deliver content. The more that exist, the harder it is to remember them, which is counter to the entire point of DNS.
- t-writescode 3y agoThe more often they’re used, the more likely someone will be able to own <noun>.<noun> or <verb>.<noun> or whatever, rather than “catching 3-4 letter thing you can say alloud” + “current trend of website name hacking” + “current cc tld used in current trend”. E.g. “Bit.ly”, “Tindr”, and so on.

- bakugo 3y agoSeveral registrars are already selling general availability pre-orders. Does anyone know how this works? I have a feeling that, when the general availability period begins, if multiple people pre-ordered the same one, all but one of them are going to get screwed. Do they at least refund you?
- CydeWeys 3y agoYes and yes. If you really want a name badly, pony up more to get it sooner and beat out those other people.
- meiraleal 3y agoIt is just pre-order, expensive and worth nothing in the end as the good ones will get more bids.

- BasilPH 3y agoI looked at buying transcrib.ing. I got quoted a reasonable price of €17,99 and a less reasonable setup fee of €1.525.570,80. I'm curious about the economics: Who gets that money? And I suppose you don't pay by credit card.
- bagels 3y agoGoogle & the registrar, I'd imagine.

- yankput 3y agoI don't get it, didn't Google sold their domain business?
- forbiddenlake 3y agoThey sold their registrar. This is their registry.
- ralmidani 3y agoI checked for cod.ing and they said it was available. I got my hopes up and went to Godaddy. It costs over $38,000. I guess in some ways that’s good because the purchaser would more likely be someone who wants to launch a legit business or project rather than a squatter. But as others have pointed out, this whole thing is a blatant money grab.
- doh 3y agoWell, fuck.ing costs only $12,999.99/yr.
- sgjohnson 3y agoFor phase 9. Getting it now costs $1.1m/y. A complete non-brainer for $13k. If you could get it for $13k, you'd already be far too late. I don't see how it's not at least a high 6 figure flip.

- saghm 3y agoYes: https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/auctions https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/auctions
- waythenewsgoes 3y agoIn theory this is beneficial as it helps fund the ICANN and keep it independent. But the reality is that these are effectively money printing machines, effectively out of reach for all but large corporations, which bring questionable value to the internet in general. I selfishly hope that we can establish a free TLD, or at least one which just directly funds ICANN operations instead of benefitting rich middle men.
- CydeWeys 3y agoFree TLDs end up full of bad actors and then face significant legal problems as a result (which they can't afford to defend).

- Wowfunhappy 3y ago...if we're going to keep doing this, why even have top level domains anymore? How do they improve UX? Writing "draw.com" makes it clear you're referring to a (commercial) website. But "draw.ing"? Just drop the stupid dot: "drawing".
- layer8 3y agoEvery new TLD is a new opportunity for making money, and that’s why they won’t be going away anytime soon.
- Wowfunhappy 3y agoBut making websites harder to find also costs money. "Was it 'draw.ing', 'drawi.ng', or just 'draw.com'? Screw it I'm using Powerpoint." Although I suppose making websites harder to find would increase Google searches...
- layer8 3y agoIt doesn’t cost money to registries and registrars, who are making the money.
- al_borland 3y agoI think most people already bank on people searching for sites vs remembering domain names. Though now, even with a search, which “draw” result is the right one. The TLD can’t be used as much of a filter anymore.
- Wowfunhappy 3y ago> I think most people already bank on people searching for sites vs remembering domain names. But that can't be entirely true, or else Canva wouldn't have purchased draw.ing in the first place, they'd just stick with Canva.com. The whole reason these TLDs are desirable is because they create easy-to-remember addresses.
- dodslaser 3y agoAccording to GoDaddy fuck.ing is still available. It also recommended fuck.glass, fuck.contractors, and fuck.barcelona. These new TLDs are pretty neat.

This whole domain name business is such a BS money grab.

- thiht 3y agoNew TLDs are usually opened in multiple phases: - sunrise, usually reserved to TMCH users (trademarks) - landrush/EAP (early access program), open to everyone with decreasing price every day of the phase - pre-registrations, if I remember well it's to ask the registrar to try and register your domain name as soon as the GA phase opens (and you get refunded if the domain is already taken) - and general availability This is classic shit in the domain name business, nothing new here

- nusl 3y agoI’m quite appalled. Pre-order now! Wonderful new TLD! Buy! But, it will cost an extra $1m if you want to do it now. Later than that, pay less but wait longer, and risk losing it. So, pay up or get lost. Can’t afford $1m for a domain? Sorry, bozo, maybe you can have the scraps when the bullies are done eating. This whole business is massive trash. The days of owning your own domain with any kind of nice name are fading and being replaced with “premium” domains with massive prices. I very much would like domains to bugger off and be replaced by something that isn’t becoming another swamp on the Internet. With that, most of the companies that can register .ing for you, listed on their website, will tell you that “.ing” does not exist. Clearly, Google didn’t tell them about launch or they aren’t ready. This whole thing makes me sad. The Internet is dying and being replaced by literally anything for a quick buck. Now with added smoke and mirrors.
- personjerry 3y agoMakes me wanna boycott that whole TLD tbh
- codetrotter 3y agoRun a caching DNS resolver for your own devices and have it return NXDOMAIN for everything under .ing and other TLDs that you don’t like

- qwery 3y agoI think eventually, the idea of limited, restricted TLDs will be an amusing historical fact (and that's already the case in some ways). But I do share some of the concern about scams/phishing. It certainly seems to confuse less savvy(lax?) users, at least. Wait... did I just download a 12MiB GIF of someone struggl.ing to feed themselves, someone pok.ing a lightbulb and someone dodg.ing an arrow?
- gumballindie 3y ago> Google Registry is launching the .ing top-level domain. Here’s how brands and businesses are already using these domains. Why are brands and businesses already using it if it’s only just launch.ing?
- WarOnPrivacy 3y agoGoogle has 46 tld that I found, many of them unavailable for public registration. .ads, .android, .app, .boo, .cal, .channel, .chrome, .dad, .day, .dclk, .dev, .docs, .drive, .eat, .esq, .fly, .foo, .gbiz, .gle, .gmail, .goog, .google, .guge, .hangout, .here, .how, .ing, .map, .meet, .meme, .mov, .new, .nexus, .page, .phd, .play, .prod, .prof, .rsvp, .search, .soy, .谷歌, .みんな, .グーグル, .youtube, .zip,
- quickthrower2 3y agoTaking domain squatting to the next level.
- moehm 3y agoI'm not sure this list is correct, as e.g. according to ICANN Wiki[0] .map is still proposed, not yet delegated. [0] https://icannwiki.org/.map https://icannwiki.org/.map
- WarOnPrivacy 3y agoYour link's details say the operational agreement was inked in 2016 and the domain entered delegation the following year. It looks like the page's status flag never got updated all those years ago.
- moehm 3y agoI'm wondering, the info box on the right says the status is proposed, and the linked "Map Status, ICANN.org"[0] lists all 3 applicants. But you are right, maybe I'm reading it wrong.

- looneysquash 3y agoWe should abolish all top level domains besides country codes, and maybe.gov There should be exactly one unrestricted tld per country.
- mike503 3y agoAnyone notice the typo/mistake? "Adobe Acrobat has free online tools that let you easily edit, add comments and fill and sign PDFs right from your browser. Try them out at edit.ing and signing." They somehow missed sign.ing being properly called out :p
- Brajeshwar 3y agoI thought Google sold off their domain business. Is this just an article from Google or is this them going in where the money might be?
- judge2020 3y agoThey sold Google Domains, which was a domain Registrar. They still own and control their Domain Registry, Charleston Road Registry, Inc. which manages the gTLDs like .ing and .dev.
- pyuser583 3y agoLast I checked, you’re supposed to chose an abstract concept as your name - Amazon.com, not Books.com. .ing endings make that harder.
- expertentipp 3y agoNope. Corporations love to usurp common names and symbols. At some point vain and idle executive board and CXX have a meltdown and decide to "make a statement". Oracle, here, apple, alphabet, magenta color, orange (color and word)...
- Meph504 3y agoHonestly at this point, because there are SO many tlds do people even care at this point. It's just a money grab, and one that is designed to strong arm brands into protecting themselves by buying up all this pointless tlds to avoid brand delusion. At this point, it seems its likely cheaper to just buy the .com, and let lawyers handle anyone else instead of buying endless pointless tlds, even more so now they are trying this auction/bidding war crap. How about we put a freeze on all TLDs. and we create rules that require they all go back to a standard fee structure, no auctions, no reserving, etc..
- sva_ 3y agoOof. I've been waiting for this TLD since it was first announced, checking it at irregular intervals, because my last name ends on 'ing'. Just hoping that nobody registers it before me (only 4 letters), because clearly I can't pay those premiums.
- sva_ 3y agoWhen I do $ whois search.ing, it says "Domain not found.". But if I enter it on get.ing, it says "search.ing is already taken." Kinda strange, maybe Google doesn't want to use it themselves because it could be seen as monopolistic, but also doesn't want to sell it?

- NorwegianDude 3y agoVery sure .bot has existed for some years (6?) now.
- neom 3y agoFrom what I understand it was locked up by Amazon and not actually available for registration, it was released to namecheap for registration today.
- tamimio 3y agoI just checked work.ing and it’s is $125k a year.. for ~10k a month, I can do so much more by renting more servers infrastructure.
- notbeuller 3y agoThere’s a character in “the truth” by Terry pratchett that ostensibly swears a lot in the book - “I don’t have any -ing friends”, etc. but it turns out he’s literally saying -ing (that being the joke). And I will never not think about if I encounter a .ing domain.
- quyleanh 3y agoCheck availability of googl.ing and search.ing. They are taken. Guess by who.
- prakhar897 3y agoI spent some time figuring out how to buy: 1. You have to spend like obscene amount of money to get the domain right now. The amount decreases every day till Dec 5. 2. In Godaddy, You pay for pre-registration of the domain, when it opens on Dec 5 and assuming nobody grabbed it before, you'll have a chance at the lottery with other bidders of purchasing it. 3. Godaddy priority registration is showing wrong pricing. The Phase 1 and 2 are already over and hence showing 20$ prices. From Phase 3 the actual prices start.

- thiht 3y agoFor people wondering how some of these domains are already reserved, new TLDs are usually made available in different phases: - Sunrise is open to TMCH users (trademarks) - EAP/Landrush (Early Access Program) is available for a few days/weeks before GA and the price decreases periodically (usually an EAP is 1 week and the price decreases daily) - Pre-registrations are a "fake" phase in which you can pre-order a domain to the registrar, and they'll order it for you as soon as the GA opens (if the domain was already sold during earlier phases, or if someone pre-registered at another registrar that happened to be faster, you'll get refunded). It's a kind of backorder, specific to pre-GA phase - GA (General Availability), where the TLD is finally open to everyone at GA pricing During all these phases, domains can be sold in "tiers" (eg. "Premium") which is why some domains (1-2 letters, common dictionary words) are more expensive.
- xign 3y agoStepping back, I kind of feel like Google is abusing their power. Seems like they literally print money by issuing new TLDs every other month or so, for doing… not much. Are people really asking for these TLDs, like .zip and .mov? Some of them almost seems like an extortion where you are forced to protect your brand by buying up relevant domains.
