Have you ever had to run outside in the middle of the night in your skivvies hollering, "Hey you kids! Get off my property!" as no-good meddling teenagers (and their Great Dane) flee the immediate vicinity? Well, then this week's category of domains released as part of Donuts's name collision release program might just be right for you.

This is the category dealing with all things relating to Property. Not just any kind of property, but Real Property (as if other kinds of property aren't real). That means private property like .farm, .house, .land, and .lease but also some common property like .camp, .city, .community, and .town. These domains have been kept pristine by ICANN's name collision prohibition, now think of them as being auctioned off like park land for you to develop.

The rollout schedule for this category will be the following:
    Day 1 (July 29, 2015 at 16:00 UTC): +$12,667

    Day 2 (July 30, 2015 at 16:00 UTC): +$4,222
    Day 3 (July 31, 2015 at 16:00 UTC): +$1,778
    Day 4 (August 1, 2015 at 16:00 UTC): +$945
    Days 5-7 (August 2-4, 2015 at 16:00 UTC): +$189

Here's is the full list of TLDs (linked to the list of domains being released) along with their regular prices per year (at A rates):

We're still waiting for the "Potent Potables" category.

Put a fence around a domain in one of these TLDs and make it your Property?:

.tld

Okay, so they might not be the most highly anticipated new extensions, but it is what it is: The sunrise phase for .codes, .farm, and .viajes has begun, and they are available for pre-registration as of today, Tuesday 11 February.

The Sunrise period of these three extensions will last two months, ending 12 April. As usual, the last three days of the Landrush phase, which will end 23 April, will be available on our website; if you want to drop the thousands of dollars needed to get in on the first four days of the Landrush, contact our support team. (The Donuts-style Landrush, or EAP, is explained in detail in our blog post.)

Finally, the opening of the General Availability phase is scheduled for 23 April, 2014, when regular prices kick in:

You can already pre-register domains under these extensions for General Availability. Orders which cannot be completed will be refunded.
