Also of note this will be the first time that a singular/plural new gTLD will be live.

.Photos has over 9,300 registrations and is the 16th most popular new gTLD domain extension.

.Photo which is a Uniregistry string seems to be priced $10 or so higher for a regular registration than .photos and launches tomorrow.

It will be interesting to see how the plural and singular of the same word does in terms of registration volume.
