Beyonce; Britney Spears, Blake Shelton; Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez All Register Their .Porn Domain

Posted on the 04 May 2015 by Worldwide @thedomains

It looks like Taylor Swift was not by far the only celebrity to register a .Porn new gTLD domain name extension in the recently concluded Sunrise period.

Lots of the biggest names in the music business joined Taylor Swift in registering their .porn domain including;  Beyonce,
Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake, Miley Cyrus, Cher,  Britney Spears,  Blake Shelton, Brad Paisley, Faith Hill, Ed Sheeran, Sheryl Crow,  James Blunt, The Band Perry, The Beach Boys.

Jennifer Lopez registered JenniferLopez.porn  but there is not a  Jlo.porn in the zone file yet.

Some actors also applied for their .porn domain including Anne Hathaway, Blake Lively, Jennifer Garner, Jessica Biel Mark Wahlberg,  as well as the estate of  the late Marilyn Monroe.

Other celebs registering .porn domains included:  Ellen DeGeneres who also registered Ellen.Porn and TheEllenShow.porn; Oprah Winfrey who registered Oprah Winfrey.porn and Oprah.porn, Paris Hilton, and Richard Branson, Whoopi Goldberg registered Whoopi.porn

Even fictional characters got their .porn domain name including Superman, Batman, Cat Woman,  Barbie, Harry Potter, Dick Tracy, Hogwarts.

Even the  AFLC Duck got their .porn domain.

96-year-old Billy Graham registered BillyGraham.porn

Major League Baseball, the NHL and the NBA and its member teams seemed to register a lot of .porn domain names but the NFL did not.

On the corporate front,  Twitter registered both Tweet.porn and Twitter.porn; , Linkedin, Vine and Facebook registered facebook.porn as well as Instagram.porn

Google, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft were some of the tech companies that registered their matching .porn domain

Some colleges registered .porn domains including; Arizona State, Arizona State University, Boston College, Dartmouth, Purdue, the University of Massachusetts and the University of North Carolina.

One of the few industries which did not seem to register a lot of domain names in .porn in the Sunrise period are those in the adult space.

I only found a few Sunrise registrations by trademark holders that are in the adult entertainment industry including Playboy and the websites xvideos.porn and xxxtube.porn

You can see all of the 3,700+ .porn domains that are in the zone file by clicking here.

.Porn is owned and operated by ICM Registry the same company that operates .xxx

.Adult is also owned by ICM and was reported to have about the same amount of Sunrise registrations so I would suspect a lot of those getting .porn domains also registered .adult domains.

Here are some of the more interesting registrations we found including a bunch of generics that got registered in the Sunrise period, more evidence of the gaming of the Trademark Clearinghouse:
