gTLDs including .pics, .photo, .holiday, .marketing and .pink go live this week

iomart's ICANN accredited UK domain name provider Easyspace has more domain names on offer this week than it has done since the new wave of new generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs) began at the start of this year.

.pics, .photo, .link, .gift, .guitars, and .buzz became available on a first come first served basis at 5pm today while .holiday and .marketing will be available for immediate purchase from 5pm tomorrow (16 April).

.photo is particularly significant because it is the first time that a singular and plural version of a new gTLD will be live.  .photos is already one of the most popular new gTLD. .guru is still proving the most popular.

Finally, there is another batch of gTLDs to come on 17 April. .pink, .red, .kim, .shiksha and .blue will all be available first come first served from 5pm on Thursday.

Sarah Haran, Managing Director of Easyspace, said: "This week offers a domain name extension bonanza to help a wide range of businesses and organisations stand out online. Certainly gTLDs like .marketing will be of interest to marketing agencies while .holiday could be of great benefit to companies specialising in travel packages."
