.Website may well be the next big new gTLD success story.
According to Radix the registry the operates the .Website extension there were 634 domain names registered during the Sunrise period which is opened to trademark holders.
With the 634 Sunrise domain registrations.Website has the second highest number of Sunrise applications of all new gTLD’s to date
A lot of the big brands grabbed domain names in .Website including Amazon, Apple, BWM, Chanel, Chopard, Dropbox, Escada, Facebook, Fox, Google, Gap, HBO, Ikea, Jimmy Choo, Johnson and Johnson, Linkedin, McDonalds, Microsoft and Yahoo to name a few
I think this is the first extension that Apple seemed to register a domain name for each of its products including Facetime.website, not sure I have seen that before.
There were some brands that I have not seen active in previous new gTLD Sunrises registering domains as well in .Website including a couple of dating sites ashleymadison.website and cougarlife.website, The Broadway show producers grabbed bookofmormon.website, there were also registrations from Cariboucoffee.Website, Halmark.Website
A lot of product brand names were registered as well which I have not seen before in previous Sunrise periods.
Landrush opens in a few hours and closes on September 15th for .Website.
Radix the registry is hold a no risk landrush meaning your application fee (depending on registrar) should be fully refundable in the event you do not get the .website domain you apply in landrush for including if you are outbid in a landrush auction.
Here are the more interesting Sunrise domain registrations:

George Kirikos says
It’s odd that one would use the phrase “next big new gTLD success story” — wouldn’t there actually have to be a first “new gTLD success story” (let alone a “big” one) before one can talk about the “next” one??!!??
Peter says

Michael Berkens says
George
Success is a very subjective term
.Luxury with just over 1,000 registrations has already made their application fees back and they have only been in business a few months.
Not may business can get their startup money back in 3 months and have pure profit thereafter.
.Club is just about to break through 100K in registrations all paid for.
.Guru cost $185K app fee and have over 60K registrations at over $25 wholesale not counting all the premium registration fees I wouldn’t mind owning that bitch.
So like I said its all relative if success is measured by revenue many of these registries are successful and as I always said this is a long term deal, 5+ years.
John McCormac says
Imagine if people started aliasing www to website at the start of URLs.
