- Ayesh 3y agoI'd imagine Google reached out to Canva, ING bank, Adobe, etc and offered those domains for free, so it looks "adopted" by the industry leaders.
- erhaetherth 3y agoFree? Why give them for free when they could make $$$.
- mxuribe 3y agoWelcome to American capitalism...where there always seems to be an inner circle or initial group of people who already got first chance at something, and then for the rest of us they simply tells us, "hey, everything is equally attainable by everyone, you just have to work hard at it...nothing is given out for free...yada yada..." This whole domain name business is such a BS money grab.
- al_borland 3y agoI’m surprised Going was in the list. They aren’t exactly Adobe.
- 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
