Generic New gTLD (2012 Round)

Overview

At roughly 3.5 million registrations, .top ranks among the largest extensions to emerge from the 2012 new-gTLD round, ahead of several better-known alternatives. Jiangsu Bangning Science and Technology operates the registry, which opened in 2014. Growth came primarily from aggressive low-price promotion in the Chinese market rather than from organic Western adoption. The English sense of the word, connoting first rank or best in class, supports its general-purpose positioning.
