A big geo among this week’s new TLD releases.
I’ve been a bit remiss about my weekly new TLD posts, perhaps because the past couple Mondays have been busy news days. That, and new TLD rollouts have slowed down to a trickle.
But I’m not late this week, as all the TLD launches I can find are Wednesday releases.
The biggest is .Melbourne (see picture of ribbon cutting below), which launched Wednesday local time in Australia (technically 23:00UTC on November 11). This will be an interesting geo domain to watch.
Three of Donuts’ domain names revert to regularly priced general availability today: .restaurant, .gifts and .sarl.
SARL is like a limited liability company, used in France, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Monaco and a number of other countries. I believe this is the first “corporate identifier” top level domain to be released in general availability; .LTDA is also coming soon.
Finally, Rightside’s .engineer enters the Early Access Program, and will revert to regular pricing a week from today.

Quite a few keyword1keyword2keyword3.melbourne registrations already. There are also a few melbournekeyword1.melbourne keyword1melbourne.melbourne domains with the corresponding keyword.melbourne unregistered.
