Yesterday we wrote about, .NYC have some registered 2,949 domain names in their Landrush period but also mentioned we knew of more .NYC landrush registrations and expected more once the zone file updated today.
Today there are 1,147 additional Landrush domain registrations and .NYC now sits at 4,549 registrations.
We also stated yesterday and still believe to be true that domains that had more than one trademark application, and that are heading to auction are not included in this total. I’m expecting based on the numbers there to be at least 1,000 landrush auctions for .NYC domains, but that is just a guess.
We also still see domain names that people told us they got in the landrush that shows up in the whois as registered by are showing as “inactive” so the number of landrush registrations are still higher.
The .NYC zone file is quite unusual and is one of the hardest to work with since there reserved domains on behalf of the city are included as well, but in a way not to count for stats purposes with that in mind lets take a look at the more interesting .NYC trademark registrations:
Another complication is that the city of New York registered some using the domain name registrar, HELLODOTNYC.COM with domains like BrooklynBridge.com and they are in the active zone file and included in the counts, so I back those out.
Finally one of the biggest abuses of the Trademark Clearing House I have seen in the new gTLD program resulted in the domain name NewYearsEve.NYC being registered to Holiday Events LLC of New York. Obviously New Years Eve is New York is one of the biggest events in the world. I didn’t realize that the term New Years Eve was owned by one company in the world, they sure can get busy starting to sue the billions of people on earth that use that term.
With that all being said here are more interesting registrations (trademarks included):

BrianWick says
as long as money is being wasted what about strippers.nyc and hookers.nyc
Motion says
Ironic, one super good name that i didnt register, tried last minute but was too late, is on this list. Which tells me that i am going against one person in auctions for similar names.
See few of my names here, but dont see many more of them, which means there will be auction galore very soon.
BrianWick says
“auction galore very soon.”
good luck will that
Motion says
My goal was to avoid as much auction as possible, but it seems that wont be the case for a lot of solid names.
Need to figure out which ones i really want, and how much i want them.
nycx says
Can you query the zone file by using nslookup ?
Ramahn says
Very interested to see what the “apt” and “apartment” dot NYC names would sell for.
Domenclature.com says
I checked the first 30 or so on the list for dot com availability, and a lot of them are; it’s significant:
212areacodenyc.com 2ndavedelinyc.com
5th-avenyc.com abortioncenternyc.com
abortioncentersnyc.com abortiondoctorsnyc.com
admissionsnyc.com adultentertainmentnyc.com
adultsnyc.com advertisingageniciesnyc.com
affordablerentalsnyc.com airlinenyc.com
allcondosnyc.com amazinmetsnyc.com
amazonnyc.com amazonfreshnyc.com
NewgTLDsite says
This is very telling I think.
Domenclature.com says
Then, I checked a few in the middle, and nearly all were available in dot com; no end user will pay new gtld registration fee for something they can have for .99 cents in dot com. These were available:

Motion says
Totally agree with you. Most The domains is garbage, who ever registered them will be sitting on a nice lose.
Motion says
Well a lot of the domains that will apply to new york, are not as good as .com and some .nyc will be better then .com for targeting. For example adults .com has way more uses then adults.nyc, vice versa pizza .com is great, but arguably pizza.nyc allows big brands to target large market much better without wasting such valuable domain as pizza.com, and that considering if they can get pizza .com. while .nyc in a very localized brand and gives much better ability for brands to target customers. Hence pizza .nyc could be better then pizza .com for a lot of pizza brands. For example, what if westcoast pizza brand wants to get foot hold in ny, but it would be super expensive without some help. Pizza.nyc might be exactly that leverage they need to enter domain of Pizza hut and Papa jones.
Motion says
Domenclature, a lot of those names bad as is, i think 80% of names that were registered are crappy for sale, but could be good for development. Not sure who was buying them.
I went only for a) easy to sell names b) industry i either knew about or knew somebody in that industry
From names i got so far, i am moderately happy. Waiting for monday to see complete list of what i got outright, and what is going to auction.
Motion says
A bit about new york domains, i have develop some business based on domains in ny. Here is one thing to know about the.
New york has 8 variations,
lets take tradeshow
You can have
ny tradeshow
nyc tradeshow
new york tradeshow
new york city tradeshow
AND
tradeshow ny
tradeshow nyc
tradeshow new york
tradeshow new york city
Hence tradeshow.nyc
Is multiple time better then tradeshownyc.com
Just because there is 8 variations in previous one.
Infact, thats what i didnt like about new york local domains, a crazy amount of variations.
Michael Berkens says
Guys you may or may not love the new gTLD’s but the concept is .NYC is for the city of New York for businesses in NY C doing business in NYC so any vertical in the space is different than a .com.
if your gearing towards a NYC audience not a worldwide audience a lot of these make sense
Beyond that i picked out, well I have no idea a couple of thousand maybe.
I didn’t count them I just list what I thought were the most brandable and useful for a NYC based business.
Anyway I don’t work for .NYC or Neustar which is running the registry so I don’t have a horse in the race but if the new gTLD’s do catch on a lot of the ones on my list (the one’s I selected of the registered one’s will be valuable.
212 phone numbers by the way if you don’t know sell in the $x,xxx range just check ebay
Motion says
Ya, totally agree. i think the way domains will be used on basis of location, should be very interesting and differ from .com . I expect to see very different usage and application from them. I think it gives a lot of business, but especially large brands to target very specifically based on geographic need.
Motion says
Okie dokie, got results from second registrar. This batch did better then my first, got about half of my names pre auction.Some very solid, i would put 3-4 of them in Elite tear, the rest are Tear 1 or 2.
Elite to me is something i can sell at will, Tier 1 easy to sell but wont have great price unless marketed to right people and Tier 2 is for right buyer can cost a lot but for most its not important.
All in all, this batch was better then expected, since i expected about 30% as the first batch.
Motion says
Ok , got all of my domains results.
My last registrar just sent in my results, with 40% remaining. and it killed, wow. This have exceeded all my expectations.
My previous 2 batches, were super solid. This one just creamed it , not on individual names, but on over all quality of portfolio. Holy crap.
Michael Berkens says
Congrats
Feel free to share here
Motion says
I will wait till after auctions all done, better be safe …
Let just say, i expected to get 3-4 elites, i got about 10-15. Majority in my last batch.
