Donuts applies for way more than a dozen domain names
June 21, 2012
Of the 1,930 new domain names submitted to ICANN recently, who had the most applications? Was it Amazon with 76? Not even close. How about Google with 101? Nope. Actually, that'd be Donuts with 307 submissions from .app to .sucks. The group beat out behemoth Google for most submissions by more than a factor of three. They've staked their claim for domains such as .basketball, .shop, .computer and .film. "We're very happy chaps at the moment," said Donuts co-founder Dan Schindler. And it didn't come cheap. The price tag for all of those topped $56 million.
