new gtlds .Suck Gets 1,089 Sunrise Domains Registrations Making $2.178 Million

[Arpit131]

Vox Populi Registry Inc., the .Sucks New gTLD registry, made more than $2,633,800 from selling .sucks domains in Sunrise and the first few hours of General Availability.

The registry made $2,178,000 USD (or probably more) just from selling 1,089 .Sucks domain names during the sunrise phase where only trademark holders can register domain names.

This number could be higher (probably up to 5%) as some of the sunrise domains don't appear in the zone files because they don't have nameservers attached to them.

Don't like the price, too high. If I was going to PAB about something or build out a site I'd prefer .gripe at the cheaper rate.
