Did you notice?

There are two domain name extensions for:

1. "Café": the .CAFE new gTLD, and;
2. "Coffee": the .COFFEE new gTLD.
   (https://morere.coffee/)

But no application was submitted for:

• "Thé" nor;
• "Tea".

Just for the note, none of the two strings are listed in the ISO 3166 alpha-3 code list of prohibited strings by the ICANN new gTLD program.

New gTLDs related to Catering (stats)

This week, we added one new domain name extension to this report: the .CAFE new gTLD.

We strongly believe that the .RESTAURANT new gTLD (new domain names ending in “.restaurant”, instead of “.com”) will be a commercial success in the long term. This post reports on new domain name extension registration volumes related to catering.

• The .PUB new gTLD = 50,156
• .MENU = 6,848
• .RESTAURANT = 5,809
• .CAFE = 6,859 (new)
• .KITCHEN = 6,365
• .BAR = 4,784
• .COOKING = 3,199
• .RECIPES = 3,582 (0)
• .CATERING = 3,315
• .REST = 1,441

In blue: noticeable domain name registrations increase, in red, they decrease from one week to the other.
