WHERE: the Nameshield Group

WHY:
This is a difficult question to answer: I 'd personally buy the singular version of a domain name but ".hoteles" could match for a hotel chain, in Spanish. I wonder if there is a market for this extension: time will tell. Regarding the .BIBLE new gTLD, I believe Christians are concerned and the Registry is being very active promoting them through its network but it has competitors and .CHURCH could be a serious one with 12.600+ names on the market already. Would I buy such a domain name? I was a Bible fan with a website...why not?

Domains Should Not Be Complicated
From the perspective of audiences and end users, complementary domains make it much easier to navigate websites and find what they're looking for. Every page nested inside a maze of menus and submenus is a potential drop-off point for users, and long-string URLs aren't intuitive, memorable, or convenient
