This is not your Father’s Internet anymore.
In the weeks and months ahead, dozens of new gTLDs will be allocated. People who expect those specialized new extensions to reach astronomical numbers, matching existing TLDs, have no idea how this “keyword + gTLD” brand generation works.
This is not your father’s Internet.
While there are a lot of generic words that make sense, who would register e.g. abysmal.plumbing? The same keyword is taken in .com/.net/.org. This not how the new gTLDs work.
Nothing much to add really.
Here are the official numbers for the current active domains across several gTLDs. For yesterday’s stats click here.
