Microsoft rocks the .Group with several domain registrations

[domainking131]

New gTLD registry, Donuts, rolled out dot .Group very recently, and it’s already at almost 4,000 registrations.


There’s no better affirmation of a new gTLD’s worth, other than seeing a major corporation adopt it en masse.

Software giant Microsoft registered several dot .Group domains, and here’s a small batch that we could find:

activedirectory.group
ageofempires.group
ageofmythology.group
bitlocker.group
crackdown.group
expressroute.group
fable.group
gigjam.group
hyper-v.group
interflow.group
killerinstinct.group
lumia.group
microsoftcortana.group
microsoftintune.group
microsoftpassport.group
photodna.group
pixelsense.group
powershell.group
quantumbreak.group
rare.group
recore.group
scalebound.group
seaofthieves.group
skypemanager.group
skypeprime.group

Some names of those registered dot.group domains are keywords from several Microsoft IP (intellectual Property) such as Viva Piñata, Age of Empires and Halo. This definitely will draw a lot of attention for prospective domain buyers, a Titan Company buying lots of domains for a brand new gTDL.
