BELLEVUE, Wash., Oct. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Donuts Inc., the world's largest registry for new generic top-level domains (gTLDs), continues its ongoing mission to expand and diversify the Internet's global addressing system in October by making two highly anticipated gTLDs available to the public. This week, users worldwide are able to register addresses in .CITY, followed on October 15 by .HEALTHCARE.
Donuts' significant role in the new gTLD program continues to expand, as does usage of its gTLDs. The registry recently surpassed 950,000 registrations in its 154 new gTLDs under management, now accounting for more than a third of the 2.4 million individual addresses registered in new Internet domains since the program launched earlier this year, and more than 1,000 registrations in its gTLDs are ranked in Alexa's top one million most visited sites.
Geographic names, like Tokyo, Berlin and New York have been among the most popular terms registered across all Donuts gTLDs, making .CITY one of the most highly anticipated launches since the public launch of the program.
"New gTLDs are delivering on the promise of providing meaningful, contextual and locally relevant online identities for users across the globe," Donuts CEO Paul Stahura said. ".CITY is particularly promising given the tremendous worldwide appetite for geographic names."
Like .CITY, .HEALTHCARE presents an opportunity for a broad cross-section of Internet users. One of the largest and most comprehensive sectors yet represented in the new domain program, .HEALTHCARE provides online identity opportunities in a large, unique and rapidly growing industry.
Registrants can find .CITY and .HEALTHCARE domains at accredited domain name registrars worldwide.
