ICM Registry has accepted 1,500 preliminary applications for .XXX domains.

ICM Registry announced that it has successfully completed its pre-registration program, which ran for the past nine months. During this period, approximately 1,500 .XXX domain names were pre-registered.

Moreover, transactions for individual domains reached six figures, demonstrating the high value of .XXX domain names. Domain registrations were preceded by a meticulous review of the applicants' business plans and ideas. All registrations were completed under the Founders program.

Beate-Uhse AG (FWB: USE), one of the world's largest adult entertainment companies, has secured a portfolio of domain names, including kostenlos.xxx, which translates from German as "free." Its European and British business colleagues have also registered domain names and are currently busy rebranding and developing new websites, which will launch soon.

In the US, many well-known adult entertainment companies have joined the Founders Program and are preparing to launch new sites in the coming weeks.
