The new gTLD report related to Companies

We believe that registered Companies from medium to large size should have a certain number of domain names registered (secured). This report is about new domain name extension registration volumes related to Companies. It took us time to select the TLDs concerned and it possible that we change the listing according to feedback received.

The domain name extensions are listed according to what we would buy as a medium size company in order of preference.

We UPDATE this report every Tuesday in our Newsletter, please Subscribe to receive the report.

By the way, did you know that Fadi Chehadé, ex ICANN CEO, uses www.chehade.company as his company domain name?
