Tomorrow (Tuesday, 6 May), .QPON is entering General Availability.
There was no Landrush for this extension! That means a veritable goldmine of domain names is available, beginning Tuesday 5 May at 8am PST sharp (15:00 UTC).
If you're reading this before then, and you want a .QPON domain but have not yet pre-registered, now is the time! We will submit pre-registrations at the earliest possible moment.
Pre-registrations are the same price as registrations, and you will be refunded in the event the domain cannot be successfully registered.
The price of a one-year registration or pre-registration is $19.72 at A rates.
Beginning in July 2014, the price for domains under the United States' ccTLD will be raised by the registry.
Our own .US prices will be raised to reflect this increased cost: The annual registration for .US domains will be raised from $15.00 to $15.50. This will apply to registrations as well as renewals.
What that means is that now might be a good time to renew or register your .US domains. You before July first! Consider also registering them for the longest possible period (up to a maximum of 10 years) in order to take advantage of the current price.
The price of a one-year registration is $31.67 at A rates.
We would like to take the opportunity to remind you that in addition to being super tasty, kiwis are an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E, calcium, iron and folic acid. Between that and the fact that 20% of the registry's profits will be donated to Christchurch's earthquake recovery, you have no reason not to buy and/or eat at least 5 per day!
Today, Tuesday, 29 April, another new gTLD has entered GoLive: .build.
The people behind .build were probably thinking of brick and mortar buildings and other, you know, concrete things.
But we all know that the only good .build is the one that passes all the unit and integration tests, are we right?
Whether you're a construction professional, a big fan of Legos, or a diehard Docker fanatic, you can now register your very own .build domain for $95.34 at A rates.
Today, Wednesday 30 April, another new gTLD is entering Sunrise at Gandi: .actor.
As usual, only TMCH trademark holders can register domains during this phase, but anyone can submit a Landrush or GoLive pre-registration, which we will submit for you at the beginning of the corresponding phase.
During Sunrise, which lasts until 30 June 2014, a .actor registration will cost $144.67 at A rates.
General Availability (a.k.a. GoLive) begins 6 August, after which the price of registration for a single year will cost $40.54 at A rates.
If you're really determined to get a .actor domain, but don't hold the corresponding trademark, you can register during the 3-day Landrush, which lasts from 9 to 28 July, for $169.67.
It's an unusual Donuts Tuesday in that only a single new gTLD is becoming available today: .services.
The new extension has just entered the Sunrise phase. As usual, only TMCH trademark holders can register domains during this phase, but anyone can submit a Landrush or GoLive pre-registration, which we will submit for you at the beginning of the corresponding phase.
During Sunrise, which lasts until 28 June 2014, a .services registration will cost $158.68 at A rates.
General Availability (a.k.a. GoLive) begins 9 July, after which the price of registration for a single year will cost $38.34 at A rates.
If you're really determined to get a given .services domain, but don't hold a trademark, you can register during the 3-day Landrush, which lasts from 6 to 9 July, for $178.68.
Five new gTLDs have entered Sunrise at Gandi. As usual, during this phase, only TMCH trademark holders can submit actual registrations, but anyone can submit a pre-registration for Landrush or GoLive and we'll submit it for you at the earliest possible moment. The Sunrise phase ends 14 June and GoLive begins 25 June.
Below, you'll find a list of the new extensions with a link to the pricing page, the Sunrise price and the GoLive price, all at A rates:
Note that the IDN .移动 only accepts Chinese characters.
There was no Landrush phase for any of these extensions. That means that other than the handful of Sunrise registrations already done by TMCH trademark holders, it's going to be a total free-for-all.
As usual, once a new extension hits GoLive, it's first-come, first-served.

The Gandi v5 platform has been deployed now for about 2 years. Many features have been added to it and we continue to update and improve it regularly.
We are planning to definitively close the v4 customer web interface. Please migrate your account by logging in to https://www.gandi.net/ to start the migration process.
