domains .Science soars to 10,000 registrations in three hours

[News]

Famous Four Media launched the .Science top level domain name this morning, and registration activity has been brisk so far.

At roughly three hours after launch, 9,680 .science domain names have been registered. The company expects the number to top 10,000 within the next half hour.

Why is .science doing so well? It’s not all rocket science: some registrars are giving the domain names away free or cheap, spurring extra demand. Kind of like .casa and .work, why not try it out for a year?

I registered over 300 yesterday.

So how many will you renew a year from now, that's $12,000/yr!
We will see all tactics possibly imaginable with these new tlds, just remember the registry is the winner!

If each domain can make him $40 in that 1 year he'll break even. Shouldn't be that difficult parking them and achieving that goal.
