If you haven't bought your .tickets, yet, thankfully you don't have to hit up Craiglist or the shady guy on the corner with a cardboard-and-sharpie sign. Not only that, but instead of huge mark-ups, now that .tickets is in the GoLive phase, it's only $486.19 per year at A rates (they were $1242.19 in the Landrush phase).

.tickets go on sale in the GoLive phase starting Tuesday September 21, 2015 at 7:00 AM PDT.

Gandi is now offering two new gTLDs that are specifically related to Chinese-speakers. These extensions have been around for a while now and we're proud to be able to start offering them now.

English speakers may be familiar with .wang because it's the last name of more than 100 million people of Chinese descent around the world. It's also one of the top 500 surnames in the US. But .wang isn't just for them.

Depending on how you spell it in the Chinese alphabet, .wang also means "web" or "net," which means saying ".wang" means almost the same as .com or .net in Chinese. In this sense, it can signify a company's online portal. Our site could be called, then, Gandi-wang. But the word is also used for online communities, networks, and other Internet-related terms, making its other meaning, king, that much more appropriate. Wang is king. And we will be offering domains in this extension for $14.73 a year at A rates.

As for .我爱你, these characters translate to "I love you," this is perfect for the opening of the new UN session on Monday September 21, dubbed by resolution in 1981 the International Day of Peace. Here's hoping assembled delegates can find it within themselves to say "我爱你." Let's be realistic, that probably won't happen this year. But you can still register a .我爱你 for $45.51 a year at A rates to show the world that at least you love it.

What's your favorite thing about Taipei? Is it seeing Taipei 101 rain down fireworks like a fountain of light for the New Year? The smile on the Ubikes? Shilin Night Market after dark? Our Gandi Asia office? The new gTLD .taipei invites you to celebrate all of these and more. Domains in this TLD will be available for $26.94.

In its previous phases, .taipei has already distinguished itself as a tool for promoting brand awareness and engaging and bonding with local customers, and now it's time for Taipeiers of all walks of life to keep Taipei a pioneer in the digital world, so do your part and register yours today.

It may only be the beginning of September and so the end of the summer, but we're already thinking about the slopes (and hopefully El Niño brings us some good snow this year) with .ski entering the GoLive phase.

Of course, we were also thinking about pierogis and polkas when we announced that this TLD would be entering the Sunrise phase back in July. We thought this TLD could also be a great way for any Gandiens to show their love for all things Polish.

Either way you crack it, .ski is now in the GoLive phase and open to anyone for $48.31 per year at A rates.

BREAKING UPDATE: This promotion has now been extended even further, until December 31st, 2015!

BREAKING NEWS: This promotion has been extended until October 31st, 2015!

SAN FRANCISCO — Gandi.net Inc. is happy to offer to its customers 50%-off the first year of registration of any .news domain from September 8 through October 8 31, December 31, 2015. Domains normally available for $31.15 at A rates will during this time be available for just $15.57.

Infomaniacs rejoiced earlier this week with Gandi's announcement of a so-called "super promotion" for the TLD .info and this promotion is considered by some an attempt to further court this important demographic.

When reached for comment, representatives of Gandi.net stated, "We thought we would write our announcement for .news like a newspaper article. We were hoping that this wouldn't be considered 'too cutesy.'"

All this month four TLDs that you can use to create your online dominion: .space, .site, .website, and .pw

First, create your own virtual, infinite (or finite depending on your cosmological opinion) void with .space. Not only can this be used for outer .space, but would be great for, say, a coworking space, a hacker space, a maker space or just a blank space.

Next, .website and .site are both pretty straightforward, but could be especially useful for the webdevs out there. We can think of no better way to showcase your talents than a .site or .website domain.

And finally, secure your online .space, .site, or .website with a .pw.

All four of these gTLDs are currently available at a considerable discount from now until September 30, 2015.

The list is below, accompanied by the corresponding promotional price of a one-year registration (as well as the normal A rates):

• .space: $2.49 (normally $12.97)
• .website: $4.49 (normally $30.31)
• .site: $5.49 (normally $34.87)

• .pw: $1.49 (normally $15.00)

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
