.rsvp – The new domain for bookings of all kinds

Your website is all about events, bookable content or events, where you always have to wait for the answers of your customers? You are wondering how to best implement this website? This is where the new .rsvp domain from Google Registry comes into play.

But what does .rsvp actually stand for and is this TLD also interesting for your website? I will explain that to you now.

What does .rsvp stand for?

There are now numerous domain extensions (TLDs) on the market. In addition to the best-known ones such as .com or .org, new domain extensions are constantly being created. On October 4, 2022, Google Registry introduced a completely new TLD, .rsvp.

In English and French, rsvp is a very popular abbreviation. This comes from the French and stands for "répondez, s'il vous plait".

How can you use a .rsvp domain for your event website?

But how does .rsvp help you now for your event page? Let's assume you offer events such as weddings, birthdays or company celebrations with your company and you need guest registrations and cancellations. In the future, you will no longer need third-party platforms for this. With a .RSVP domain, you can now easily implement your booking website yourself.

Simply register a .rsvp domain such as www.events-berlin.rsvp and forward your customers directly to the registration form stored there. This is an easy, fast and cost-effective way to implement a booking page for your company.

The launch of the .rsvp TLD

The new .rsvp TLD was introduced by Google Registry on October 4, 2022.

Like all TLD launches, the launch of .rsvp took place in three stages: the TMCH Sunrise period, the Early Access period, and the subsequent general availability.

The launch phases of the .rsvp domain in detail:

• The TMCH Sunrise period opened for the .rsvp domain on October 4 and ran through November 7
• The Early Access period started on November 8 and ran up to and including November 13.
• The official launch for all began on November 15, 2022

Excursus: The three launch phases of a domain briefly explained

The TMCH sunrise period is equivalent to a preventive protection measure. Trademarks registered in the Trademark Clearinghouse can be the first to secure domains. Thanks to the Sunrise service, it is possible to register domains even before General Availability. In this way, brands can protect themselves in advance against abuse by third parties in connection with domains with the corresponding brand name.

The Early Access period allows users to register domains of a new TLD before the general availability. If you are planning to register a domain before the official market launch, you should keep in mind that in addition to the usual annual price for the domain, a one-time early access fee will be charged, which will make your desired domain significantly more expensive.

General availability then goes hand in hand with the official market launch of a new domain extension. From that point on, anyone can register domains with the new TLD.

Practical examples

Since the official launch of the .rsvp TLD, 809 domains have been registered (as of December 2022). But due to the opening of the TLD in mid-November, numerous .rsvp domains will certainly be added.

Currently, websites with a .rsvp domain are still rare. To give you an impression of the possibilities of this domain, we present a few examples of .RSVP websites:

• The RSVPify company offers event software for all kinds of events at events.rsvp. From weddings to private parties to virtual events, the company offers the best service to everyone.
