The new domain name extension .Miami , which had it’s first day of General Availability yesterday, where it could be registered on a first come, first served basis got almost 5K registration including around 200 in Sunrise.
According to ntldstats.com, .Miami had 4,959 domain names in the zone after its full day of GA.
The Godaddy family of registrars, dominated the top 10 of domain registrars of .Miami taking 8 out of the top 10 spots and getting over 55% of all .Miami registrations.
.Miami is being managed by Minds + Machines and domain names can be registered by anyone one in the world.
.Miami becomes only the 3rd city in the United States to offer a New gTLD.
.NYC which is only available to people or business with a presence in New York city, has almost 85,000 domains registered and it’s releasing it’s collision list of over 16,000 previously unavailable domains this week.
.Vegas has 16,500 domain names registered and has no nexus requirements.
Outside of the United States, .London which is also being managed by Minds + Machines, has the 2nd highest number of domain names registered for a city new gTLD with just under 70,000 domain names.
.Berlin has over 68,000 registered domain names.
As in the Will Smith song; Welcome To .Miami
I could have had my name Steve.miami (but since I no longer live there, I decided to opt out). Besides I have Steve in a few other extensions.
I like the extension, but it’s a bit long. Maybe better as .MIA
Hoping .Miami will perform like .NYC and .Vegas
Its awesome that anyone can buy dot Miami wherever you live not like NYC for example!
I’m certainly going to be regging a few since that is the case so as my very first one on the first day of public regs I now own:
MIAMIFLORIDA.miami
MIAMIFL.miami
For sale BTW!
Will be cool to see how hot the .Miami gtld gets especially since anyone can reg them as I said.
