You can move into a .apartments domain name this week.
Donuts releases one domain name in regularly-priced general availability this week and some good ones enter Early Access.
.Apartments launches on Wednesday, with many registrars offering prices around $50. This should be a great domain name for geo domains. You might want to look for lesser-known location names and state abbreviations. For example, you can pick up TX.apartments (short for Texas) at a premium price of about $150 per year. (You might as well register it in EAP today if you want it; the first year price is about the same.)
I think .apartments will do quite well.
Three other Donuts domains enter Early Access on Wednesday: .School, .Football and .Casino.
.School seems like a good domain name for private schools, although some colleges might also consider it. It can also be used for any educational site, such as SEO.school.
.Football will be interesting to watch and see if it’s more popular in the U.S. (American football and the NFL) or for the kind of football you actually play with your foot. This domain should do better than .Tennis given the number of teams. .Tennis launched last week and has about 800 registrations.
.Casino is (smartly) priced at a premium. Expect to pay $150-$200 to pick up these names in general availability.

What happened to Ram Mohan’s advice that TLDs with more than 3 characters risked not resolving correctly – ? CW
Mason Cole says
Thanks to TLDs such as Ram’s “.INFO” that were launched 15 years ago,
that problem has been largely solved and the vast majority of websites and applications now handle meaningful TLDs, i.e. TLDs that are longer than 3 characters. Some examples of incompatibility still occur but these are fixed quickly as they are identified.

I’m sure .apartments will do very well in the market.
