Two new gTLD’s were released this week by Minds + Machines
After domain name registrations made in Sunrise by Trademark Holders .Fashion has 2,182 registrations.
.Garden on the other hand only grew to 388 domain registrations.
On another note .Science which was released about a month ago by Famous Four Media, now has skyrocketed to the 6th most registered new gTLD’s (actually number 5 if you disregard the IDN of 网址 (xn--ses554g) which has about 350,000 registry owned domains) with over 118,000 registrations.
Of course the first 50K or so of .Science were giving away for free by Alpnames.com and other registrars are charging a $1 or less for a .Science domain registration.
In hitting over 118,000 registrations .Science has passed .XXX and .Pro two Top Level Domain extension launched years ago and before the new gTLD program.
We should also mention that .Link has also passed .XXX in terms of domain name registrations and should pass .Pro in a few days.
The next extension that is likely to get passed by both .Science and .Link is .Tel which is sitting around 128K registrations but is losing registrations almost every day.

The Question is why is dot Tel doing nothing when all these Gtld are catching them up, is Tel proof now we have social media domain are less important in the long run.
Nick V says
.SCIENCE is high because they were being given away for free.
Spencer says
ALL GARBAGE PIGEON SHIT
Inland says
Seriously, is that the most clever and literate vocabulary that you can come up with?
dave says
.link is internally registered in house, .science free these are not stats
Michael Berkens says
Nick
I did say that, 50K free then $1 or less
Nick V says
Yeah, sorry. Just meant that nobody would be purchasing them if they weren’t. I read on LET that a couple people got away with registering 200-300 in one shot before Alp caught on an subsequently limited reg’s to 9 per account.
