Lots of people interested in .xxx domain names.
ICM Registry has received over 300,000 pre-registrations for its new .xxx domain names as of this morning. It has received tens of thousands of pre-registrations in just the past few days.
Of course, these pre-registrations don’t necessarily mean .XXX will get 300,000 registrations on the first day. There’s no cost to pre-register. There’s also no guarantee that those who express an interest in a name will get it. It’s more of a notification system than anything else.
Domains will be allocated in multiple ways. There will be options for trademark holders, possible priority for those that own the same second level domain name under a different TLD, an RFP process for developing valuable names, and auctions.
Details about the pre-registration option are available on ICM’s web site.
