The General Availability phase for dot bid, dot trade and dot webcam started today. Did you guys register any?

I tried grabbing some dot bid and dot trade domains which represented good “left of the dot + right of the dot” combinations (in other words, domains which represent a good fit for their new gTLD) but didn’t manage to obtain the ones I was after, so I ended the day with zero registrations.

There are (if I’m not mistaken) five more General Availability phases scheduled for this week.

Tomorrow, the General Availability phase for dot UK will start. Ok, it’s a ccTLD but definitely worth mentioning.

And on the 11th of June (in other words on Wednesday), the General Availability phase for the following new gTLDs will start:

.dating
.events
.partners
.productions

Out of the 4, dot dating is quite tempting but it seems a lot of good domains will carry premium renewal fees, so I will most likely pass. I’ll take a closer look when I get a chance to but after a few quick searches, all of the domains I liked were either taken or carry premium renewal fees.

Oh well, c’est la vie.
