Hi all, this is great work by .club and Donuts. Is there a possibility to match the results and make them available in a Google Docs? Thank you!

I am continuing some of that work. We began surveying the Internet's highest-profile websites, particularly the Alexa 500, for their capacity to accept New gTLD email addresses when registering a new user account. While Donuts tested only email addresses in ASCII, I am now testing in non-ASCII as well. Recently drew some numbers off 150 of the websites - only one-third of the list we set out to test. - a short New gTLD (.tech - 4 characters) gets accepted 89% of the time - a long New gTLD (.technology - 5+ characters) gets accepted closer to 70% of the time - a .com email address that contains non-ASCII characters left of the dot gets accepted closer to 40% of the time - an email address that contains non-ASCII characters (e.g., Thai, Arabic) both left and right of the dot rarely gets accepted, i.e., about 5% of the time In other words, for this type of UA testing, two of the factors that appear to matter are: - TLD length (ccTLD or 3 characters versus 4 or 5+ characters) - SLD and TLD: ASCII or non-ASCII? To the left of the dot only, or non-ASCII characters on both sides? Thank you, Alina On Wed, May 18, 2016 at 8:05 AM, Dirk Bhagat <dirk@get.club<mailto:dirk@get.club>> wrote: Hi Andrew Good to hear.

This spreadsheet breaks the list down into a few categories: -. Free Email providers -. Top Retailers -. Travel -. Email Newsletter Services -. Music Services -. Social Networks Of the 600 sites, roughly 65% were confirmed to have passed, 13% confirmed to have failed, and 21% could not be tested for one reason or another. Although there is a lot more work to be done, I believe it's a good starting point. -- Dirk Bhagat CoFounder, CTO .CLUB DOMAINS LLC. 100 SE 3rd Ave, Suite 1310 Fort Lauderdale, Fl, 33394 o: 954.530.2580<tel:954.530.2580> m: 416.839.4945<tel:416.839.4945> Get.club<http://www.get.club>
