Amazon Registry\u2019s launch of three gTLDs last week saw some registrants pay premium prices for .hot domain hacks.<\/strong><\/p>\n Zone file data shows domains such as moons.hot and slings.hot were registered towards to the end of the five-day Early Access Period, with the registrant likely paying close to a thousand bucks for each.<\/p>\n cums.hot, longs.hot, moneys.hot, mugs.hot, pots.hot and ups.hot have all been registered, seeming by a broad range of registrants, at regular general availability prices since EAP closed May 17.<\/p>\n The EAP was lightly subscribed, if the zones are a guide. There were a handful of defensive registrations towards the end of the week, along with a few context-appropriate keywords like piping.hot.<\/p>\n .hot launched at the same time as .free and .spot, which don\u2019t seem to have the same domain hack opportunities. Most EAP regs there were either defensives or keywords. Names like speak.free and live.free were registered.<\/p>\n As of today, .free is doing the best of the three, with 931 names in its zone, followed by .spot with 373 and .hot with 309.<\/p>\n If you find this post or this blog useful or interestjng, please support Domain Incite<\/a>, the independent source of news, analysis and opinion for the domain name industry and ICANN community.<\/b>\n<\/p>\n \n\t\tTweet<\/a><\/p>\n
