Update on the new top level domains released for general availability

Six new top level domains were released to buy now under general availability today (August 6); .actor, .fail, .financial, .limited, .rocks and .wtf.

In all, 31 domains have gone live (and are therefore available to buy now) since my last update just over a month ago. Excluding those released today the newly available domains are; .associates, .bar, .blackfriday, .capital, .christmas, .co.com, .consulting, .engineering, .exchange, .fish, .gripe, .kaufen, .lease, .media, .moda, .pictures, .pub, .reisen, .report, .rest, .services, .town, .toys, .university and .vision.

In addition, there were 28 new domain name extensions given GA dates in 2014 since my last update that are not yet live. These include; .accountants, .cash, .church, .claims, .cologne, .credit, .creditcard, .digital, .direct, .discount, .finance, .fitness, .fund, .furniture, .gratis, .guide, .haus, .host, .insure, .investments, .koeln, .life, .loans, .place, .press, .schule, .tax and .website.

Domain names are usually inexpensive costing about £10 or £20 per year but the names that the registrar thinks will be most popular tend to work out more and some of them are in the hundreds or thousands of pounds.

There are many places where you can buy or attempt to pre-order the new top level domains, just do a search on the extension you are looking for at your normal domain registrar. If you are a My Web Minder customer looking for additional domain names from the list or you don’t already have a domain registrar and would like to purchase a domain then get in touch through the My Web Minder Contact page.

There will be many more becoming available over the coming months so come back soon.
