These are the so-called "new domains", hundreds of generic, specific and sector-related extensions, which 5 years ago promised to open a new era for the web. A bit of an uphill start In these 5 years, what should have been a real "flood of new domain registrations" turned out to be a "drizzle". The new gTLDs have struggled to carve out their own space online without managing to undermine or compromise the registrations of .com and the other large "web giants".
A new dawn in 2019 The latest Special Data registration data released by Verisign , the guarantor of the registrations of some of the most famous tlds such as .com, suggests a change of direction. After 5 years of lackluster presence on the market, 2019 could be the year of the new gTLDs. In fact, in 2018, registrations of new domains increased by almost 11% , unlike all other extensions which grew on average by .
only 3.5%. The market is now ready! The numbers of new domains are growing as is usage. The market for more traditional extensions is now becoming saturated. It's difficult to find short, easy-to-remember .Com domains still available (remember the 10 rules for choosing the right domain?). With the "classic" extensions the best names have already been taken, but when choosing the new domains there is still a lot of choice. This 5 year delay was predictable and should not be strange.
