Three-letter .blog domains priced up to $100k
Kevin Murphy, September 25, 2020, Domain Registries
Knock Knock Whois There, the .blog registry, said it is going to release its inventory of three-character domains next month.
Roughly 47,000 names will be released at premium fees, with prices ranging “from a few hundred dollars to over $100K”, the company said.
That number suggests that pretty much all of the alphanumeric combinations and hyphenated L-L, N-N, L-N and N-L variants will be available.
The premium pricing only applies to year one; the names will renew at the standard rate of between $10 and $30.
The names will be released October 7 on a first-come, first-served basis.
.blog is doing pretty well by new gTLD standards, with over 190,000 registered names.
