Rightside’s first batch of new TLDs follow the expected pattern for re-renewals.

Rightside, which markets 40 top level domain names, this week published data on domain name renewals. The data aren’t particularly surprising.

The company has seven top level domain names that have been available for a full two-year cycle. During the first year, these top level domain names had a 69% renewal rate.

Of the 21,000 domains that were renewed at the first anniversary, 81% were renewed at the second anniversary.

First-year renewal rates are almost always lowerer than second-year rates for obvious reasons. The first year weeds out people who were speculating and have given up, or had an idea that didn’t come to maturation.

By the time the second renewal comes around, you mostly have people in a few different groups:

1. Brands that plan to continue reserving their domains
2. People that have put the domains to use
3. Domain investors who are willing to hold out longer term, at least for their better domains
