MESA, Ariz. — GoDaddy, the Internet's largest registrar, has announced pricing for .XXX domain names.

.XXX domains acquired through GoDaddy are priced the following:
* During the Sunrise A period, .XXX domains through GoDaddy will be priced at $209.99 for the non-refundable application fee and first year of domain name registration. Renewals are $99.99 per year. Sunrise A applicants must have either verifiable trademark rights or are owners of exact matching domains in other TLDs.
* During Sunrise B, created for non-adult industry intellectual property holders, GoDaddy plans on charging $199.99 for the one-time, non-refundable, non-reversible processing fee that blocks the domain name from .XXX registration for 10 years. Sunrise B allows companies to block their domains in the .XXX sTLD.
* Pricing for Landrush, where there are no qualification requirements, is at $199.99 for the non-refundable application fee and first year of domain name registration. Renewals are $99.99 per year. Landrush is designed for online adult operators but is not on a first-come, first-served basis and applications for competing names will go to a closed-auction at the end of the period.
* General Availability pricing for GoDaddy .XXX domain names is $99.99 for the first year of domain name registration, with renewals at $99.99 per year. The domain names for General Availability are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

.XXX’s Sunrise period starts in September, with Landrush in November. General Availability is slated for December

I own 71 domains - it would cost me almost $15,000 to register all the .xxx's for them.

Yeah I'll be running right out to buy a hundred or so domains because biz is so great and I want domains that are banned.

It sounds like a perfectly smart business decision to me.

Gonzodave · 2011-08-12, 08:04 PM

I'm in the same boat. I've got 265 domains with websites......$56,000.00 - guess I'll just have to dip into next weeks profits to pay that one. Not!!!!!!! Dot Coms will continue to rool!

Domain sitting will become an expensive excercise for the parasites won't it!

SheepGuy · 2011-08-12, 08:20 PM

Fuck 'em

babymaker · 2011-08-12, 09:32 PM

Some dude emailed me about Philly10.com non adult anyway so i called him up since he left a number and then he says he isn't buying names right now because the govt was going to put all domains on .xx for adult and some other shit for non adult, so i hung up

What a jackass

Cleo · 2011-08-12, 09:46 PM

Nice one Cleo. I might check out some .info

200.00 is pricey but your $$ sites. What are the costs on fighting some guy that's stealing your brand?

Sunrise period ends and then the landrush. So we'll see a lot good domain names up for grabs.

Evil Chris · 2011-08-14, 09:09 AM

Is anyone actually buying any?

(not that they would admit to it if they were!)

Greenguy · 2011-08-14, 01:08 PM

What brought this thread about was Doug from Rabbits posting on Twitter that they got their 1st .xxx review request - casting.xxx - and he said they were going to review it as usual.

Jeremy82 · 2011-08-14, 04:15 PM

1) As long as google respect regular domains, there is no need to panic.
2) If there's gonna' be legislation against using .com for porn in some countries (and I think, this is very real), then it's time to fuck 'em up and relocate your company to anoher, less fascist country.

Ramster · 2011-08-15, 09:10 AM

I might buy some ONLY to protect/help my pay sites. None of my free sites I will be buying .xxx for

Otherwise Fuck Them!

GigglesWorld · 2011-08-15, 09:56 AM

Lol. That's insane wtf.

Voltar · 2011-08-23, 09:27 PM

i'll stick to my .coms
sounds just like someone trying to grab money from hard working webmasters...

housekeeper · 2011-08-24, 12:56 PM

I'm wondering when it will become mandatory that adult sites have that extension, and how are they justifying the cost of this? They're trying to price us out of business, as if the rest of our business expenses weren't enough...

Especially they're trying to squeeze out money from the BIZ to their pockets. Basically, global recession forces some office rats to do some wretched steps, that's it...
