LONDON (Alliance News) - Minds + Machines Group Ltd on Thursday said .work domain registrations have now surpassed 55,000 and said it has sold the net.work domain name for USD100,000.
The domains owner said the registrations now secured for the .work domain mean it is now among the top 20 new top-level domains.
