New gTLDs, week 5: The launch of .photos

It’s week 5 of the new gTLD launches, and choices abound!

This week’s four new arrivals will kick off, as always, with a trademark protection period (Sunrise phase) beginning on Christmas eve and lasting 60 days.

This phase will be followed by the seven-day priority registration period (and by “priority” they mean “pricier”) starting 26 February 2014, before being opened up for regular registration at standard prices on 5 March 2014.

To see prices or reserve a domain, see the TLD info pages below:

• .photos
• .careers
• .recipes
• .shoes

If you’ve made pre-reservations, you can convert them to pre-registrations from within your account: https://www.gandi.net/admin/reservations

Coming up next week are scheduled launches of .tattoo, .sexy, .limo, .domains, .cab, .wed, .menu, .uno, .kiwi and .company.
