These ten recently-created websites are paying annual premiums for their domain names.
Top level domain company Donuts releases a monthly list of premium domain name activity (like this) at Donuts.news. I wanted to dig deeper and see how domains that top their charts are being used. So I reviewed sales from recent months to check for active sites. There are many active sites on these domains, but I’ve selected ten below to show how they’re being used. You’ll see some common patterns: good left-right combos and short domains.
Based on transfer searches at registrars, I believe that the annual cost for these domains starts at about $500, with some $1,000 or more.
Golf.fitness – Golf Fitness Association of America launched in September to cater to golf facilities that offer fitness, health and wellness programming.
Football.coach – Sports video games have evolved from when I was a kid. Many games now include a career mode where you build a player and help them both on and off the field. Football Coach the Game 2022 will be one such game.
Print.market – Print.market is a printer and supplies retailer.
Kino.live – The .live extension definitely got a boost from people moving to virtual events and networking last year. Kino.live is one example.
Catch.live – This is another good example of a site built for the move to online. Catch lets artists livestream ticketed events.
X.wine – An online platform for investing in fine wine.
Vegan.family – A recipe site for vegan food.
African.business – IC Publications chose this domain for a news site about business in Africa.
Springfield.dentist – This dentist in Springfield, Virginia, opted to go with springfield.dentist instead of their last name, which is difficult to spell.
Mr.Mortgage – This Florida mortgage broker has branded himself as Mr. Mortgage. In this case, the dot in the domain is also part of his brand.
Catch.live sounds like a potential game changer. I can see Ticketmaster buying them out or launching a similar service.
Oh yeah it sounds just huge. It might even be more popular than the Donuts newsletter trying to promote any sign of life in New TLD land.
Max, you were such a .US visionary when it was released in 2002. Look what “they” have done to us, and to .us. Did you ever read my comment which is called (by yours truly) “The truth about .US”? You should definitely read it. Check it out over here:

Wow. I thought some of those were pretty mundane. I expected them to be more of a “Yeah, that’s an awesome and apt fit.”
The new gTLDs are primarily used to host spammed sites. I say terminate all the new gTLDs and help the Internet.
Hello Andrew,
New gTLD’s are high liability financial instruments that contain crushing Market Internals for start-ups. It is our opinion gTLD’s real PURPOSE is based on a Google Centric LIE. Its time everyone get educated l ! gTLD’s are a fine example of what We call (GHOST Assets) JAS 2/12/2021
