It’s been an interesting week in the domain industry with the announcement of Google using a “new G” abc.xyz for the homepage of its newly restructured parent company called Alphabet. There’s a lot of speculation that this will really open the flood gates for companies to start adopting new gTLD’s. Sales of short domain names continues to flourish as reported by TheDomains with the sale of AV.com and possibly WE.com.
