We are using QUE.com domain name for our company brand, website, email, marketing and other related advertising campaign. I tried to register the QUE.APP domain name for defensive purpose but it will cost me $440/year to register and renew every year from Google. By the way, Google manage’s the .APP domain extension. If I remember it correctly, they won it in auction for $25M. Well, that’s peanut for Google.

The yehey.app is available for $14/year to register and also for renewal every year, and other extension will also show up if they are taken or available. For Yehey keyword, the new .APP extension is available (as of this time) to be register by anyone.
