So it's not just a great New Wave song, it's actually, apparently, a thing. Today, January 18, is the one day of the year that has been proven to be the day when we're all the most depressed as we ever are.

Something about the cold and the low light levels (at least in the North Hemisphere) but also probably giving up on all our New Year's resolutions (two weeks out is about right, isn't it?) gets us all down this time of year.

But this year we have seen the light! And to make you feel a little less blue, we're offering you a .blue domain creation for just $2.00 (normally $8.15) all this week.

So turn that frown upside down and get a .blue domain.

We think feedback is a necessary part of any healthy system that evolves and develops and, despite the "back" in the name, moves forward.

Now, as we announced last month, there's a TLD available from Gandi for just that process. The .feedback extension is, for a few days now, still in the Landrush phase, but enters the GoLive phase on Monday, January 18, 2016 at 6:00 AM PST.

The odd thing about this release schedule is that in the Landrush phase, .feedback domains are actually less than in GoLive. For now, .feedback domains cost $10.63 per year until 6:00 AM PST on Monday.

Then, domains will be available in this extension in the GoLive phase for $41.41 per year at A rates. So get them cheap while you can.

And a reminder, since this extension is intended to bring together Internet feedback, all domains registered in .feedback are automatically redirected towards a dedicated platform provided by the registry.

For more information, see the domain info page.

There's plenty of rock out there, but if you want to say something "rocks," it has to have that certain something, that transcendent resplendency, that … transplendency.

When something really rocks, you lose yourself in it a little bit and just become one with the crowd. Sure, everyone is a unique individual snowflake. But a great band, show, song, whatever that really rocks connects you with a bigger, social experience.

Well, now, January 11, through March 31 June 30 is the time to chase that otherwise untenable experience with a .rocks domain to connect you to what really, well, rocks or a .social domain that connects you to anything and everything social, which are each on sale at half-price. That is, .rocks is available for just $7.77 per year at A rates instead of the normal $15.54 while .social is available for just $16.25 per year at A rates rather than the usual $32.49.

It's finally time for the beautiful Alpine country of Switzerland to have it's (new) own TLD, .swiss, enter the GoLive phase (pairs great with the old stalwart .ch TLD).

You should remember to check the rules page here before registering though: registration of .swiss domains heavily favors the Swiss.

And now that we offer payment in Swiss Francs, we can proudly display the price for a one-year domain name creation as CHF 130.67 (or if you prefer USD, $142.55).

What were the odds? We're not sure. But if you are, perhaps you care to make it interesting with a .bet domain, entering the Sunrise phase as of 8:00 AM PST today, January 5, 2016.

If you really want to hedge your bets on the .bet of your choice and have a TMCH claim to back it up, domains in this extension will be available for $102.87 in the Sunrise phase, which lasts until February 4, 2016.

Then, if you're feeling lucky, register in the Landrush phase, which opens February 11 at 8:00 AM PST, now. In this phase, domains go for $2754.19 per year. Landrush closes on February 12 at 7:59 AM PST.

Finally, if your odds are good that your domain will remain unclaimed in either Sunrise or Landrush, this extension enters the GoLive phase on March 3 at 8:00 AM PST at a price of $20.79 per year at A rates.

The geographic TLD for the Dutch province of Friesland,  .frl, has been out since April 14 last year (2015) and we are now able to offer this extension at Gandi for the price of $57.37 per year at A rates.

While most of Oceania entered 2016 first, the next continent to celebrate the new year is starting it out right. At least as far as it's corresponding TLD, .asia, is concerned.

That's because .asia is ringing in the new year with a three-month long promotion of 70% off domain names. That means that instead of $25.00 per year at A rates, .asia domains from now until March 31, 2016 will be only $7.50.

There is a requirement for .asia domains that at least one contact is physically located on the continent of Asia, but don't worry if you can't find one Gandi provides you this one for for free.

Those of you hungry for adventure may be a litlte disheartened by the fact that it seems there's little left within our collective reach to explore. It seems like the whole Earth isn't just already explored but has been sliced up into sections of a few hundred square feet that rent for a couple thousand dollars a piece per month. Where's the excitement of discovery in that?

And it's no better in cyberspace than in the meatspace. Traditional gTLDs are getting just as overcrowded and all the good domains in those gTLDs are long gone. But there's good news! Just like SpaceX's latest triumph this month is busting the next frontier open wide, another new one has opened as well. Of course, we're referring to .space: the final(ish) online frontier.

If you're itching to boldly go where no internaut has navigated before, from January 1 through January 31, 2016, .space domains will be on sale for 80% off. That means instead of paying $7.97 per year (at A rates) on a .space domain, you would instead pay $1.60 per year this month.

It's a great time to be a designer of any kind, really. It's no coincidence that this coincides with the Internet really coming into it's own. With everyone from huge multi-national corporations down to tiny Mom and Pops (and, yes, also literally your mom and your pop) in need of a website, design is in high demand.

Starting January 1 until February 15, 2016, we're making it a bit easier for designers by offering .design domains for half-price: that's $31.18 instead of the normal $62.36.

This is your chance to show off your design skills with a site on a domain that speaks to your calling as a designer. If you're new to the game, get a .design domain to throw some ideas online. Or if you're already an established designer, consolidate your online portfolio in a place that says unambiguously what you're all about.

What's your .design?

This January, we are offering a promotion dedicated to a new wave of artists, journalists, and documentarians enabled by the power of digital technology and the Internet with a great 80% off deal on .photo domains.

Remember (it wasn't so long ago, after all) when you had to go get your pictures developed? You actually had to go to a store, give them all your film, and pay to get the pictures back. If you went on a vacation, you'd have to wait until you were back home and then another twenty-four hours just to see the pictures you take.

Now, with high-quality, dSLR cameras, you can take high-resolution digital images and upload them from an internet café to your blog, to social media, wherever. And photojournalists can beam you real-time images from news when and where it's happening in stunning color and resolution. And we couldn't be more behind this creative and journalistic empowerment of the average person. And, yes, selfies.

So this month might as well be dedicated to this new wave of photographers, because .photo domains will be 80% off from January 1 through January 31, 2016, that's $6.50 per year instead of the normal $32.49.
