Post a record breaking launch, .online is still going strong 7 days into launch. After registering 28,000 domains in the first 30 minutes, .online seems to have broken one more record—the fastest to sell 50,000 domains.

The 50,000th domain to be registered was meingeschaeft.online by Realtime Registrar which translates to mybusiness.online in German.

While Germany has been the leading market for .online, the extension is seeing consistent uptake from leading global markets. The current geo split backs this up:

Country	Domains	Percentage Contribution
Germany	14,583	32.2
United States	8,349	18.4
United Kingdom	3,427	7.6
China	2,726	6
Netherlands	2,426	5.4
Spain	1,673	3.7
Canada	1,259	2.8
Australia	1,092	2.4
France	997	2.2
Italy	787	1.7
India	690	1.5
Others	11,991	16

The TLD has prominent shelf space across leading registrars like GoDaddy, 1&1, UnitedDomains, Namecheap, Name.com etc. which are the highest contributors.??

Already, the 26th largest TLD by zone, .online seems to be fast catching up on extensions like .photography, .email that have been amongst the first new gTLD launches and most popular in this round.

Here is a snapshot of how .online compares to other leading TLDs and the time they have taken to reach 50,000 domains.
