The new gTLDs are here, and how - over 200 launched already this year, and with over 540 to choose from, how will you choose?

While choosing a domain name is a very personal matter, and should be done with planning and thought (and maybe some beer) the choice of a TLD is perhaps less obvious. In some cases you can choose a new gTLD that is perfect for you (like .HIPHOP for your slammin' dance studio), but in other cases it might not be so obvious. .INK? .CLUB? Why not take advantage of the big data thing that everyone is talking about to find out what is popular? Well, now you can!

As you may know, Gandi acts carefully and tries not to collect or disclose any more personal data from our customers than is strictly required, such as when the ICANN contract or applicable law mandates it. We do, however, have a lot of anonymous data that we can to use to make your life easier, and our data scientists have used it to create an algorithm that will help you in choosing the best TLDs for your needs.

How does this work? Let's try to make it clear. While we don't use any of your personal data to sell you more stuff, nor track your behavior on our website as such, we are able to use the anonymous behavior of customers to make projections based on:

  • the place you are connected from,
  • the language you are using,
  • the TLD you are looking for,
  • and, if you're searching while logged in, the contact type of your handle (individual, company, association, etc).

That's the only information we use that comes from your profile, and it's useful when sorting through hundreds of TLD.

We designed the algorithm to learn continuously and evolve to keep up with global trends. Our algorithm will hand you a list of TLD suggestions for your domains, based not upon your specific behavior, but on our global domain names sales history, taking account of the factors we list. For example, we can guess which TLDs would be the most interesting for someone with an individual-type handle who is based in France, using our website in English. We also use semantic distance analysis to suggest some neighboring TLDs (like .photography if you are looking for a .photo domain). Of course, you can still be a trendsetter and pick whatever TLD you want, we won't stop you. In fact, you can even register your domain name in every appealing extension at the same time. That makes us very happy indeed! :)

If you're into that kind of thing, we've published our formulas and process here, so you can see how we work with the anonymous data we collect.

As always, we are here to help if you need it, and we welcome your input at feedback@gandi.net.


Three more new gTLDs, .CASA, .WORK and .YOGA, are now available for registration by trademark holders.

The Sunrise phase for these three TLDs will end on January 5, 2015 at 7:59 a.m PST.

.casa is the only one of these TLDs that will have a Landrush phase, which will be from January 14 to 18, 2015.

.casa and .work will enter the GoLive phase on February 10, 2015 at 8 a.m. PST. The .yoga GoLive will follow one week later, on February 17.

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

  • .casa: $131.93 | $38.34 | $38.34
  • .work: $97.24 | N/A | $6.67
  • .yoga: $131.93 | N/A | $38.34

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.

Ok, we are a bit late - these TLDS for the German city of Köln (aka Cologne) actually were released by the registry on Sept 5, 2014. The good news is that you can get them now at Gandi!

 

The charming city was once the capital of West Germany, and has the distinction of meritiing not one, but two TLDs. Which one you choose (.COLOGNE or .KOELN) is up to you, and you don't need to be a resident or anything special - these domains are open to all for $14.68 (at A rates, plus tax if applicable).

Today, Monday, December 1, .taipei is entering the Sunrise phase.

There will be no Landrush phase.

When .taipei enters the GoLive phase on March 31, 2015, the price of a one-year creation will be $26.94 at A rates.

.quebec is entering the Golive phase today.

Note that .quebec is reserved to registrants with a connection to the the Quebecois community. Don't be surprised, therefore, when you are prompted to provide some additional information: you'll be asked to provide a brief explanation of why you're registering a .quebec and what you intend to do with the domain. Your response will be forwarded to the .quebec registry, at their request.

A one-year registration of a .quebec domain will cost $43.78 at A rates.
