Why .onl not as popular as other new gTLDs like .xyz ? Although it's short and catchy
I agree with that as well. I also have not had any .xyz sales the last six months. It had more of a hype a year or two ago.
The shorter TLD is not always the better TLD.
The TLD ".online" has 6 letters and sounds = performs better than the abbrevation - TLD ".onl(ine)" which has only 3 letters.
Better than other nTLDsOnly ≈5000 .onl names have been registered after 3 years!
In some cases .xyz makes sense, looks nice, could have commercial value imho.
The problem is, & it is a big one, most high value (one word, letter, number) .xyz have outrageous renewal rates.
Am sure some companies wouldn't mind it, but individuals? I would never pay $1,200 for renewal.
Just saw a (.Rent) domain that renews at $64,999.99, oh, nothing to say.
I assume its the same with .onl? crazy renewals?
Cheers

What will happen to the popularity of the .ONL extension if .ONLY comes out as an extension?
And how many new gTLDs with less regs.There are almost 300 new gTLD extensions with more regs.
I thought it's short for ONLINE, thanks for the update.What will happen to the popularity of the .ONL extension if .ONLY comes out as an extension?

Well, for me, Google thought I was looking for .only domains when I searched .onl domains...
Though, nic.onl seems to think, ".onl is the quick way to say you're online!"

This thread is the most it's ever gotten..it's popularity can .ONLY go up from here.What will happen to the popularity of the .ONL extension if .ONLY comes out as an extension?
.gdn reminds of "GoDaddyNames"Theres always .gdn, .
if the image that @ecalc image is correct..($.99 for xyz and $19.99 for onl).xyz looks even worse but still got millions of registrations.
Yep..theres a ccTLD thats a good fit for them too- .gd for Grenada..gdn reminds of "GoDaddyNames"
