Restrictions mean little exposure for .boat and .yachts.
Publishing company Dominion Enterprises launched the .boats and .yachts top level domain names last week.
Odds are you didn’t hear about the launch. The reason is simple: these are restricted domain names.
You must have a tie to the marine world in order to register a .boats or .yachts domain name. Registrations are held until this connection can be verified.
The company owns a number of marine publications, including Boats.com. Locking up .Boats may have been somewhat defensive.

Well, not a very good step.
