According to the ICM Registry as of midnight EST, the first day of general availability (GA) the number of registered .porn domain names totaled 10,038.

This number includes all domain name registered in Sunrise by trademark holders which numbered around 4,000 and the number of .porn domain names registered in the matching program for .XXX domain holders which was around 3,500 so basically .porn got over 2,500 registrations on the first day of availability.

As far as .adult the first day of general availability ended with 8,277 registered domain names, including the domain names registered in Sunrise and in the .XXX domain matching program.

It should be noted that in the .XXX matching program most registrars were offering a package of matching .porn and .adult domains for less than $25 for the pair. In general availability yesterday registrar pricing was around $80 per domain for each .adult and .porn domain.

Stuart Lawley the CEO of ICM the owner and operator of .XXX, .Porn and .Adult told thedomains.com, that “our end of year one projections included in our business plan as part of the application process showed 10,000 .porn and 3,000 .adult domain name registrations.”

“We are therefore delighted to have exceeded those numbers on Day one of GA. We are particularly pleased with the high numbers from .adult.”

There are over 103,000 .XXX registrations as of yesterday which do not include the 10 year block domain names. that where offered in the .XXX rollout.

ICM was the only applicant for .porn and .adult so ICM has already received a pretty good return on it’s $370,000 in application fees
