The Premium sector grew by 7% in the last quarter of 2015, riding a strong trend overall which saw total new gTLD growth rates rise from 26% in Q3 to41% in Q4. Part of the increase seems attributable to improving awareness of TLDs in China, with domain investors making high volume domain registrations in the last few months.
Not unexpectedly, the Premium sector remains a niche with the top 50 Premium TLDs accounting for 3% of the total new gTLD volume in Q4 2015.
Best Premium performer in Q4 was StartingDot’s very own .ARCHI with stellar 97% growth. This was followed by .BLACK (+52%), .HOST (+36%) and another StartingDot TLD .SKI at 23% growth. .BIO remains StartingDot’s best-selling TLD and was nudging 13,000 registrations by the end of Q4 2015.
