Radix the registry for .ONLINE announced today that .Online is the fastest gTLD to sell 100,000 domains names since their launch less than 3 months ago.
After a very successful launch which broke all new gTLD records with 38,000 domain names registered in the first 24 hours of General Availability, .online surpassed 100,000 domain registrations this morning.
The 100,000th domain to be registered was myfamilyroots.online that came through eNom.
This milestone comes at a time as Radix also surpasses 1 million Domains Under Management.
A quick scan of the .online zone through DataProvider pulls out some interesting data points according to Radix:
• 100+ .online sites are in the Alexa.com top 1 million & it’s the 2nd fastest new domain extension in terms of new additions to the Alexa 1 million list (for the last 30 days)

Post a record breaking launch, .online is still going strong 7 days into launch. After registering 28,000 domains in the first 30 minutes, .online seems to have broken one more record — the fastest to sell 50,000 domains.
The 50,000th domain to be registered was meingeschaeft.online by Realtime Registrar whichtranslates to mybusiness.online in German.
While Germany has been the leading market for .online, the extension is seeing consistent uptake from leading global markets. The current geo split backs this up:

A look inside .Online’s strong debut.
By all accounts, .Online had a great first day yesterday. It got over 30,000 registrations. Its overnight zone file now sits at about 35,000 names.
I dug through the zone file to look for patterns. Here’s what I found…
Here are three companies that registered a lot of domains. There might be others, but these companies pointed the names to their corporate nameservers:
1&1 crushed it. According to nTLD Stats, it has registered close to 15,000 .online domains so far. I suspect this is due to two things:
Here are the domain parking companies that pop out as having the most new .online names on their nameservers:
Domain investors clearly got in on the action. Chad Wright went big, and Ben Inc (Ben Van Dyk) got 299.
Finally, here’s a chart showing how many domains were registered by SLD length, up to 20 characters:

When it comes to .ONLINE, the real question is what can’t you use it for? .ONLINE is a great alternative to other generic domains if the domain name you want is already taken. It is also great for brick and mortar stores who want to differentiate their offerings online, or for other companies that want to emphasize their presence on the web.
