About .boo and .rsvp

Why register a .boo?

You always need a .boo. To show you love on Valetine’s Day or make someone scream on Halloween, or just because there are tons of new domain names you can imagine with this domain ending.

Why register a .rsvp?

Because sometimes you need a confirmation: for a wedding, a fundraiser, making reservations. Remember your site is there to suggest options, and for your user to validate them.

Gandi Corporate Services’ advice

The interest of these TLDs is proven for businesses with the need to require reservations (.rsvp) or wanting to create a website related to an event (.boo). When these TLDs enter General Availability, everyone will be able to register a .boo or a .rsvp, so the risk of cybersquatting exists for these domain endings due to their reasonable prices.
