Go to the new Gandi

Today we're having fun with jargon because of three TLDs entering the GoLive phase for communities that like to abbreviate.

First, the TLD just for fen, .fans, is entering the GoLive phase. Whether you're a trufan, a neofan, a faned, an apahack or just a Jophan, .fans is the TLD for any and all fanac, whether that's publishing the online version of your new ish, or organizing for the next con, this TLD is for you, whether or not you grok what we're saying.

For you mundanes out there, you don't have to be seriously into fandom for this extension. Today, it's open to all, so if there's something you love—whatever you love—show say it proudly with a .fans domain.

Next,  .mba is also entering GoLive, which in itself is shorthand, of course, for Masters of Business Administration. We don't have such a degree so we don't know for sure, but it seems part of the curriculum must be learning different acronyms. We can only assume the justification is to save time in the end. Besides CEO, CFO, CTO, CMO and COO, don't forget ABC, ETA, KPI, ROI, and the other TLD entering GoLive today: .fyi—the perfect TLD to get the word out with.

The list is below, accompanied by the corresponding GoLive prices of a one-year registration, all at A rates:

  • .fans: $102.97
  • .fyi: $27.05
  • .mba: $41.41

Everyone likes something, some people love something, and others live their lives immersed in the fictional universe they love. The new gTLD that entered  the Sunrise phase on Tuesday June 16, .fans, is all about the latter: this is the extension that celebrates fandom.

And we feel really great about this one because Gandi loves fans. Our fanbase is pretty devoted, and we flatter ourselves that we might someday inspire Gandi fan art. Maybe a steampunk Gandi logo? A Victorian Gandi logo? Our logo is practically begging for a monocle. A Gandi/Batman crossover? (Gandi vs. Batman?) Hipster Gandi logo? And what about Gandi fanfic … ?

And maybe you want to inspire your own fan art? How better to stoke the creative fires than with your own .fans domain, available for $378.19 for a one-year registration at A rates. Or, if you are a fan, if you can wait for Wednesday September 2, you can register one for $102.97 when .fans enters the GoLive phase.

Remember, the Sunrise phase is for TMCH-registered trademark holders. Contact our corporate support team if you have a TMCH-registered trademark (or would like help registering your existing trademark at TMCH) in order to register one of these new gTLDs during Sunrise. If you are not among the trademarked, you can still pre-register for the Landrush or GoLive phases. We'll submit your order at the earliest possible moment – as soon as your chosen phase begins – for the best chance of success.
