You can read the press release after the jump :
” Igloo.com, a leading broker of ultra premium domain names and websites announced today that Profile.com is now listed exclusively with their firm. Highly marketable, globally recognized, and easy to remember, Profile.com represents a unique opportunity for a new or established company to secure a rare asset and leverage it to launch their new business, product or campaign.
The word “profile” has transformed from merely “the side view of a head” to “a set of characteristics (usually online) helping others get to know who you are and what you like.” Profiles are prominent across a variety of industries including, but not limited to, social media, business, online dating, financial aid, and even crime.
Dr.Phil McGraw, perhaps the most well-known mental health professionals in the world, and the host of the television show Dr. Phil, reminds viewers that if someone has an online profile they need to be aware that what they publish on the Internet for the world to see could end up sabotaging their future. What they may think is acceptable to post, at one point in their life, may not be acceptable to college recruiters, potential employers or even the police when it really matters. Dr. Phil says, “Even if you delete that photo, it could exist in the cyber world forever and may come back to haunt you when you least expect it.”
StatisticBrain.com recently reported that 58% of the world’s population are now connecting via web-based social networking services and that over 41 million U.S. singles have tried online dating. The average online dating customer spends over $200 per year, making online dating a billion dollar industry and Forrester Research projects that, if social media continues along predicted growth path, social media marketing expenditure would increase in the United States from 7.52 billion U.S. dollars in 2014 to 17.34 billion U.S. dollars in 2019.
In an article entitled “Seven Seconds to Make a First Impression” Carol Kinsey Goman stated that, “In business interactions, first impressions are crucial”. In the business world many times people’s first impression is online. Recruiters, potential employers, clients, and potential business partners look to someone’s online profile to glean their first impressions of them. An online profile is a personal brand, and a strong brand can be the most powerful tool. Given proper execution and utilization of the asset’s full potential the new owner of Profile.com can emerge as the new leader in the online profiling space as a reputation management company, employment or dating site, or even a crime-fighting tool.
Domain names like profile.com have broad market appeal, category authority, and excellent SEO potential.
“It’s not just a great domain name, it’s a global brand, making it a truly rare asset,” said Amanda Waltz, VP of Sales & Acquisitions at Igloo.com. “With personal branding and online presence holding such an important place in today’s society, Profile.com will be highly desirable to a number of exisiting companies or offer a new company seeking to offer a new brand or service.”

Donuts New gTLD Renewals Continue Around 70 Percent But With Variations
Donuts new gTLDs have been continuing to have renewal rates of around the 70 percent mark after six days from when renewals started commencing.
And Donuts have also been continuing to post updates on their blog. As of day five, the cumulative renewal rate on the 43,365 domains that have come up for renewal is 70.0 percent.
Looking forward Donuts believe renewal rates for their gTLDs will stabilise at the 70 percent rate, and then gradually move towards an 80 percent renewal rate as the proportion of names with active, website-content increases over time. Donuts has been measuring website-content in their gTLDs since 2014 and the percentage of names with dynamic, multi-page content has increased every month, in every gTLD, since they began measuring.
On specific gTLDs though there are variation. In the day six blog post Donuts compare .bike and .ventures. Of the 14,538 .bike names registered in the first year, 5,958 have passed through auto-renew and 75.4 percent of those were renewed. This compares to the 7,594 .ventures domains registered in the first year with 2,805 passing through auto-renew so far, and 67.6 percent of those renewed.
But there is a significant price difference between the two – around $25 for .bike and $42 for .ventures at EuroDNS – but Donuts don’t think the price difference between the TLDs is the driving factor in renewal rate variation (75.4% for the less expensive .bike versus 67.6% for .ventures). To the contrary, Donuts think more expensive domains will renew higher, other factors being equal, as the registrants have ascribed more value to those names. But to date there isn’t enough data to support that prediction yet.
What is clear, Donuts note, is the relationship between renewal rate and usage. 30 percent of .bike domains so far have real, multi-page content or redirect to such content, whereas for .ventures that number is 19 percent. .BIKE owners are putting up more content, more quickly, and as a result they are renewing more. Results for other TLDs in this batch (CLOTHING, PLUMBING, SINGLES, etc) support the common sense conclusion that TLDs with more usage renew more. To give you some context for these usage numbers, all the names in the COM/ NET zone have about a 50 percent usage rate while the 40 million or so .com/.net names that were newly registered in 2014 their usage level is lower at 39 percent.
This doesn’t mean .bike will necessarily have a higher renewal rate than .ventures 12 months from now. Donuts suspect it may mean that .bike owners are smaller, newer and more nimble companies than .ventures owners and are therefore publishing content more quickly. Something to keep in mind, for all TLDs, is that end-users tend to be very slow at turning domains into website content. It is not uncommon to see six months delay between domain purchase and website activation.
