dot-SH is on the rise - Anybody into it?

Since Afilias took over running dot-SH it's been steadily on the rise - but still very small zone file, so should be a ton of great names still for hand reg - couldn't find any crypto or cannabis related ones still available.


[disclosure] - I used to be CTO at the registry operator before Afilias took over, now no relationship.

The quick answer I guess, is becuase you can still get single generic words for hand-reg prices. I dunno, I'm not into to it, but somebody is - hence the question.

Not disagreeing, but isn't that true of *ALL* cctlds - except the very few that have some genuine generic meaning like TV, AI or IT)?

e.g Wouldn't the same have been true of dot-IO five yrs ago, but now it's really popular??

For such an obscure zone there is substantial activity imo:

I see its all listed are from "park.io" - they did a pretty comprehensive job of hoovering up desirable dot-IO's a couple of years ago - very efficient drop-catch system - I wonder if the lion's share of the growth is from them?
