New gTLD Domain Registrations Pass The 250,000 Mark

Posted on the 16 March 2014 by Worldwide @thedomains

According to ntldstats.com, the number of new gTLD domain name registration has now passed the 250,000 mark.

.Guru is still leading the pack with almost 45,000 registrations  but  .Photography is closing in passing 28,000 registrations.

.Tips and .Today have about the same amount of registrations which are quickly approaching 15,000 each.

.Technology and .Director each have just over 10,000 registrations.

Of all fully launched new gTLD’s .Tattoo seems to have the least with just over 1,200 registrations.

.Tattoo is one of only a couple of new gTLD’s that are not available for registration on Godaddy.com.

.Tattoo and .Sexy are offered by Frank Schilling Uniregistry.

The largest registrar for .Tattoo is Enom with 27% of the registrations followed by Name.com at over 15% both are owned by Demand Media, Inc. meaning that those 2 registrars are responsible for almost half of all .Tattoo registrations.

The other new gTLD launched by Uniregistry, is .Sexy which topped 5,000 registrations.

The retail registrar arm of Uniregistry, Uniregistrar.com is expected to launch sometime today which should help drive quite a few more registrations.

Godaddy.com has the highest number of new gTLD registrations and its market share of the new G’s is holding steady at just under 40%.

At 250,000 domain registrations its worth pointing out its still a 1/4 of the number of domain names registered under the .mobi extension, less than 10% of what .Biz has registered, less than 5% of the number of .info registrations and is still less than the number of domain names .Asia has registered.

(All number include the up to 100 domain names each registry is allowed to reserve for its own use).
