The opening of the .ES top level domain will take place over 4 days, starting November 8th, according to the Spanish Domain Name Registry.

This is an indication that the Registry expects an enormous demand for .ES registrations over the coming week.

The opening of the .ES Registry is scheduled as follows:

• 7 am Central European Time (CET), November 8th for orders for Domain Names starting in numbers, or the letters ‘a’ and ‘b’.
  
• The letters ‘c’ to ‘e’ will be added November 9th, 7am CET.

• The letters ‘f’ to ‘n’ from November 10th, 7am CET.
  
• Open registration starts November 11th, 7am CET.

Spanish is the native language for some 500 million people in 20 countries around the world, figures that are confirmed in a recently published newsletter. Short names and the simplest words from the dictionary are achieving astronomical prices at domain name auctioneers. Such a Top-Level-Domain is a natural for domain name speculators: a widely spoken language, and an until now restricted TLD with less than 100,000 registered Domains, is an Eldorado for domaingrabbers and speculators.

From November 8th .ES domains become available under the “First Come-First Served” principle.
