.NYC the top level extension for New York now had 3,441 domain name registrations after awarding landrush domain names that received only 1 land rush application.
Prior to the landrush domain names. NYC had just under 500 Sunrise registrations by trademark holders.
The number of LandRush domain names so far in the zone file are 2,949 domains for a total of 3,441 .NYC domain names
Any domain that received more than landrush application are off to auction and none of those are included in the totals.
There are also a number of domain names awarded in landrush that are not included in yesterdays total that were sent to me by other domain holders located in New York, so we expect an updated total tomorrow when the zone file updates.
My Favorite domain so far that was awarded in landrush with only one application is BrooklynPizza.com, congrats to Amy Oztan of Brooklyn for grabbing the gem.
To register a .NYC domain you have to be a resident of New York city or be a business who maintains an office in New York City, no PO Boxes were allowed.
The nexus requirement for .NYC domain owners is ongoing, do if you want to buy a .NYC domain on the aftermarket you will also have to meet the Nexus requirement in order to hold the domain.
