Googles .new shortcuts are coming to other websites, and youll be able to register your own

Last year, Google introduced the handy .new shortcuts for Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets, so you could type something like docs.new, into your browsers URL bar and a fresh G Suite document of that kind would open in a new tab.

A number of companies have .new shortcuts that are live now, such as Spotifys playlist.new, which will let you create a new Spotify playlist.

Anyone can apply to register a .new domain starting on December 2nd, and Google tells The Verge that Google Registry will allocate the first batch of domains from those applicants in January 2020.

If you own a trademark and want to get the .new domain for it locked down, you can register for it between now and January 14th, 2020.

Pricing for .new domains will vary depending on the registrar partner you buy the domain through, according to the company.
