Top 3 Emerging Keywords of the Week 🔥
OpenAI drops a new name, Elon gets dragged into the domain drama, and Trump gives AI a rebrand. Domain registrants apparently didn’t need much time to react. 👀
🥇 dots (281 ⇢ 407)
OpenAI unveiled its new AI assistants, “Dots,” and the internet quickly noticed that Dot.com points to Elon Musk’s Grok Bot. One missing “s,” a very different destination. The launch buzz likely helped send this week’s #1 keyword climbing.
🥈 superintelligence (456 ⇢ 575)
Trump wants AI called “Super Intelligence,” and signed an executive order making it the terminology for the executive branch. A presidential rebrand is quite a publicity boost. Domain registrants seem to have taken notice.
🥉 si (356 ⇢ 471)
Naturally, the shorter version joined the party. Trump’s AI-to-SI switch likely helped fuel interest in these two letters too. Why register 17 letters when two will do? 😉
We’ve watched this pattern at dotDB for years: a headline lands, a keyword catches fire, and domain registrations follow. The real test comes later: which names survive the hype?

Shop.com reportedly sold for $100 million. If confirmed, it would set a new record for the highest domain-only sale in history.
Why such a massive price tag? The answer is in the data. 👇

The news has finally broke that @Shopify has acquired the Shop.com domain name! I learned about this deal several months ago at a very interesting cocktail party.
While I was not involved in the transaction, and because nobody directly involved is my source, I am going to tell you something that is not being reported:
The price was $100 Million!!! JUST the domain name.
That is the state of the market ladies and gentlemen.
YOUR DOMAIN = YOUR BRAND = THE LAST MOAT

Introducing Live Scan ⚡
A powerful new dotDB feature that helps you instantly see what’s behind Exact Match Domains.
In dotDB web search results, you’ll now see a lightning icon before each EMD extension list. Click it, and dotDB will scan the related Exact Match Domains in real time and generate fresh website snapshots.
Once the scan is complete, simply hover over any extension to preview the live website behind it.
No more opening domains one by one.
Live Scan helps you quickly spot active businesses, developed brands, parked pages, landing pages, and real-world keyword usage across different extensions.
Even better, Live Scan is available across all dotDB paid plans, including Basic, Pro, Expert, and Enterprise.

✨ New small feature, big convenience for some users.
dotDB now supports Custom Extension Priority Order in your Search Preferences.
By default, extensions in search results are ordered based on the number of registered domains in each extension. But we know some users may prefer to see specific extensions first — such as .ai, .io, .si, or any other extensions important to their workflow.
You can now set your own preferred extension order, and dotDB will show those extensions first in your search results.
Find it under:
Account → Search Preference → Extension Priority Order
A small update, but hopefully a useful one.
