Seems that someone is heavily* registering .at domains. (maybe inspired by the recent short domain auction?)

Two days ago I called up Nic.at (the registry) and they said that all 2 character non IDN names have been sold out on sedo´s auction.


*Yesterday there had been registered a handful domains (around 3-10 i think the exact number was 4)



Today the counter is already above 380 and flocking up every few minutes. I started to watch when the counter was at 67 or so a few hours ago in the morning.. by refreshing the page the counter also gets updated.

On the homepage on the left side down the page is a counter with live stats https://www.nic.at/index/



Seems following combinations are already taken:
AAA.at
NNN.at (with no 0 at the beginning)


Only the following NNN.at are left (all with 0 at beginning):

056.at
078.at
083.at
082.at
081.at
052.at
079.at
057.at

The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
Neue at-Domains: 473

Few hours later, 473 new .at taken.


That's about minimum about 5x more than "normal"

I know that does not sound much.. but for small and globally "not AAA+++ important" .at it´s way more than usual.

To compare, the total new .at in year 2016 are: 2.768



Anyone know what´s going on and how to get insight?
Has it something to do with sedo´s short names auction?

The buyers of the 2 letter .at via Sedo will no doubt be looking to offload the majority of them at much less than purchase price after the auction frenzy in the not too distant future.

Safe to assume the short term run on .at inspired by the auction will soon disappear.

thanks @wot !


But yesterday's frenzy was about NNN.at (3 numbers) not the two char sedo auction.


So you indeed think it has something to do with sedo auction?
Where to get some more stats and data?

Apparently you were misinformed.
I just checked the first 300 LLL.at and there were many of them available, i.e. ajj.at, ahj.at, ajn.at.

It seems there are available NNN.at and LLL.at - I checked at random and was easy to find some available like zxr, 704, yzt...

NNN.at

means

100.at
233.at
and so on


LL.at (2 letter) sold out at sedo auction
IDN names maybe still available though.

just wondering why ~20% of 2016 yearly new regs are taken on a single day

IMO this looks like an investor generated 'pump'. The fundamentals, if you will, which will enable the true growth of the TLD seem weak to me. Radio test and Austrian native market saturation would scare me as an investor.

Having said that, a 2/3 letter domain is worth $ and is liquid more than many other domains...

oh.. and what's "generated pump"?
 
0
•••
Fundamentals being a predicted rise in internet adoption among locals/registry pushing the TLD, for example

"investor-generated pump" being a situation similar to ll/lll buyouts of various TLD's

If you are interested in owning a two char .at domain -> they are open for public registration now.

Yeah all LL.at and most NN.at sold out at sedo auction.

Free reg, there might be some LN.at, NL.at and IDN available though.

again 443 new domains today (checked right now)

Is that caused by short domain auction brought attention to dotAT or some other reason?

I hoped I could do a favour to some fellow nP member.. but I guess it went to someone else.
