.club
.club, often stylized as .CLUB and sometimes dot-club, is a top-level domain (TLD). It was proposed in ICANN's new generic top-level domain (gTLD) program, and became available to the general public on May 7, 2014. .Club Domains, LLC is the domain name registry for the string. In August 2014, .club became the first new gTLD to pass the 100,000 domain threshold, excluding those distributed at no cost. The extension surpassed the 200,000 domain threshold in April 2015. Prominent individuals using .club include 50 Cent, Tyler Johnson, Justin Kan, Virat Kohli, and Demi Lovato. CLUB is also used by prominent celebrities in China including Wang Qiang and Jay Chou.
==Acquisition and promotion==
In June 2013, .Club Domains, LLC acquired the .club gTLD through a private auction after raising $7 million from 27 individual investors. Colin Campbell, the company's chief executive officer, declined to reveal the final auction price, citing confidentiality agreements. club was the first new gTLD acquired via private auction. Unsuccessful applicants competing for the gTLD were Donuts and the Merchant Law Group LLP. Following acquisition, Campbell envisioned an early 2014 launch, supported by a five-fold expansion of the company in multiple offices worldwide. In an interview with Domain Name Wire, he confirmed, "We've raised $7 million to acquire the rights to the name and to launch the name. You could obviously run a registry for a lot less, but we like to do things in a big way. I can't say how happy and excited the staff here are (winning the auction )."〔 He further shared his enthusiasm and future plans with The Domains, saying: "We are thrilled to have won the first gTLD private auction and now be in a position to ensure that .club is one of the first new generic domain names to come to market worldwide. We believe that very few new domain names carry the inherent marketing message and global recognition that the name 'club' represents. What .com has done for companies, .club will do for membership organizations of all sizes."〔
The TLD became available to general public on May 7, 2014. Club Domains offered a free domain to all 2015 LAUNCH Hackathon participants and awarded a $10,000 prize for the best project in the extension. On July 1, 2015, around 8,000 premium .club domains became available for purchase through registrars at nine premium levels ranging from $100 to $10,000.
