NYC Domain Name Registrations – July Review

This is the seventh in a series of monthly articles highlighting patterns and trends in recent NYC domain registrations. Each month I scan lists of recently registered .NYC domain names and after removing the hard-to-make-sense-of domains I'm left of a group I call the notables - this also includes highlighting any premium purchases (registration prices above the standard $20-30). Honestly, it's getting very difficult to place some of the names in categories, for example "freshcocina.nyc" is two words, partly in another language, it's most likely a business that's a cafe... so please take the categories below lightly. So here goes. July 2018 NYC Business Domain Registrations Total .nyc domain registrations added: 778 This is a big jump from the 629 NYC domain registrations reported last month.

NYC Business Domain Registrations – March Review

This is the third in a series of monthly articles highlighting patterns in NYC business domain registrations in March. Each month I scan lists of recently registered .NYC domain names and after removing the hard-to-make-sense-of domains I'm left of a group I call the notables. Any premium purchases (registration prices above the standard $20-30) are highlighted and all the domains are placed loosely into categories. Keep in mind that many of the domains could go into different categories and would therefore change the %, but I made decisions quickly on where to drop the domain and this month, I even consolidated groups (geo / address / real estate / construction). So here goes.

New .NYC Domain Registrations – February 2018 Review

This is the second in a series of monthly articles detailing new .NYC domain registrations: looking at registration trends and categories, while also highlighting any premium .NYC domain registrations along with any obscure names I find. The NYC Open Data initiative was the original source of the NYC domain registration data. February is an interesting month for domain registrations. It's a short month and it follows one of the most depressing weeks of the year - one where resolutions have been broken and the credit card statements have arrived showing the full damage of the holiday spending. February 2018 .NYC Domain Registrations Total .nyc domain registrations added: 847 This is compared with January's 875, but don't forget February has 3 fewer days, so for a 10% drop in the number of days (31 to 28) we only saw a 3.2% drop in total new registrations (875 in Jan to 847 in Feb).
