Rightside reveals premium and .live stats, date for 2-character release

[Andrew Allemann]

New TLD company offers stats about .live and premium domain names.

Rightside (NASDAQ:NAME) published some interesting stats about its second quarter today. Here are some of the notable numbers:

• $1 million premium sales (wholesale) from premiums in Q2. This was probably helped by the company’s special renewal pricing on premium domains.
• The company has sold less than 2% of its premium inventory to date. (Rightside was much more aggressive than other registries when it came to marking domains as premium.)
• 1,700 premium .Live domains have been sold year-to-date, generating $780,000 wholesale. Only 6% of premium .live inventory has been sold so far.
• The company is releasing previously unavailable two-character inventory starting in September.
