.design Passes 10,000 Registrations

This past week .design officially passed the 10k registration mark. General availability opened up a month ago and yet .design has already overcome a milestone that only 15% of other new gTLDs have reached.

The enthusiastic and powerful response to .design confirms our belief that people are ready for a TLD that speaks to them on a personal and professional level. Our registrants are graphic & web designers, interior and fashions designers, as well as architects and bloggers. They deserve a big thanks for leading .design to such a successful launch. We can’t wait to see what comes next.

.wiki & .ink Success at NamesCon Live Auction

,

Going once!–This week Las Vegas played host to NamesCon, the largest and arguably most influential annual conference for domain name investors. A major highlight of the much-anticipated conference was Right of the Dot’s live domain name auction, which included a mix of legacy and new TLDs. Top Level Design did not hold back, auctioning off valuable names such as Food.wiki, Casino.wiki, Celebrity.wiki, Red.ink, and Wholesale.ink.

.ink & .wiki gear up for their first live auction

,

Top Level Design, the registry behind .wiki and .ink domain names, is anxiously gearing up for its first ever live auction, which will take place January 13th at 4:30p.m. at NamesCon in Las Vegas.

The company is expecting their .ink and .wiki names to perform well at auction given the successes of these extensions since their launches last year.

Individual .ink domains have already been selling in the $10,000 – $20,000 range in private sales since the TLD’s June 2014 launch. The .ink domain is seeing high-profile tattoo industry publications Rebel Ink, Urban Ink, and Skin&Ink all making the switch, as well as adoption from the hit TV phenomenon Sons of Anarchy, which launched a tattoo focused mini-site.
