www.Buy.xxx making a big splash as registry gears up for general availability.
With just a week to go until general availability of the .xxx domain name, ICM Registry’s commercials are making quite a splash. The company’s site www.buy.xxx (sometimes promoted as go.buy.xxx) has received millions of visitors as a result of the aggressive advertising.
Make no mistake. .XXX is the most aggressive (and perhaps expensive) new top level domain marketing push to date.
General availability starts December 6. On that day domains will be available on a first come, first served basis. It makes sense go ahead and get your orders in with registrars as they’ll all be pinging the registry as soon as it opens for business. I’ll publish a price chart comparing registrars soon.
There are two types of registrations: adult and non-adult companies. Adult companies can register anything they wish. Non-adult companies can pay to block their domains. Unlike during sunrise, blocking your domain now will mean paying an annual renewal fee.

Why is the biggest porn king sueing .XXX? Something seems very wrong here. Its better to stay away from .XXX and pay them nothing. .XXX is trouble and looks like they are going to end very badly. ICANN is a mess!
