.Expert which goes into general availability on Wednesday, already has over 1,300 registrations through the Early Access Program (EAP) with most of them coming on days 4 and 5.
I personally haven’t kept any records on how many domain names have been registered in any of Donuts previous new gTLD strings, but I’m pretty sure this is a record for domains registered in EAP
When I went through the zone file two days ago there were about 150 domain names including Sunrise registrations and day 1 and 2 EAP registrations.
Today there are 1,452 domain names registered under .Expert, so over 1,300 domain names were registered on EAP 4 and EAP 5.
Also keep in mind that many of the .Expert domain carry a premium price on registration and renewals such as SEO.expert which has a $800 registration and renewal rate at Godaddy which was registered under privacy.
.Expert looks like a huge winner and money maker for Donuts.
Even before its true launch on general availability, .Expert has more registrations than 9 fully launched new gTLD’s
Another big early winner in .Expert is Web.com
There two big registrars NetworkSolutions.com and Register.com were responsible for over 65% of all registrations to date.
A lot of the domain registered so far are in the legal and medical field and I hope that those who registered them have are actually lawyers and doctors who actually specialize in those areas of practice or medicine or there might be trouble down the line.
On the trademark front I saw a few potential problems like MLB.expert and NFL.expert (both registered to the same party) and TheMac.expert (Mac.expert was registered by Apple in Sunrise) and Chevy.expert and Chevytrucks.expert registered by what appears to be a Chevy dealer but not General Motors.
I also saw a number of trademark holders that missed Sunrise go back in early to grab domain names.
