The numbers are out and they are absolutely staggering!
The Dot .XXX Registry managed to complete 24,977,902 domain registrations of .XXX domains in half a day!
“Not even dot .com seems to be an obstacle now,” said Hugh Joargun of the ICM Registry. “We are absolutely thrilled, we are having a margarita party, getting punch drunk as we speak!”
The incredible feat of achieving almost 25 million domain registrations in just a few hours comes as no surprise.
According to the ICM Registry data, there are four large groups of registrants:
- Domain investors that buy any keyword in any TLD
- Domain speculators that buy adult keywords in some TLDs
- Domain flippers that buy cheap stuff to sell with a $10 profit margin on eBay
- Frank Schilling who bought Rumcakes.xxx for seven figures.
It seems that all these groups worked together to create the perfect .XXX storm today, achieving this extraordinary feat for the ICM Registry.
We seriously don’t want to guess how many million .XXX domains will be in existence tomorrow afternoon! 😀
I’ll be surprised if they do 25,000 the first day.
Well, this is very funny. I enjoy your humour, very much. Problem is there is no “dot .com” You mean .com, right? Adult industry is wild. What can we say? Heck, .XXX has been around forever…
But very nice .CO banner you have…

Em1 – A dot a day does the doctor away.
Em2 – Thank you.
do you mean that almost 25 million domains were registered ?
Adam – “Almost” is the right word 😀
Sorry I tried to say bad things about your blog. I’m just an idiot from IP 188.222.14.167 that used multiple aliases like adam, paul and abhib@yahoo.com to badmouth DomainGang. I’m from the UK and my IQ is about 3 and a half. At least, it’s bigger than my penis.
I was like WTF when I read the title. I checked and there were 3 letter words still available. Even SOB xxx
It would be funny if some media picks this up and posts it as a source.
Gnanes – It would not be the first time 😀
