New gTLDs Race to the Bottom With Domain Giveaways? - The new .BERLIN domain added 67,000 new registrations early this week and another almost 6,000 yesterday.

Giving away domains may be a good short term business practice. It gets people in the pipeline, gets them to see the value, build sites in the registry and encourages ... read more ...
