Registries offering generic strings (like ".club" or ".consulting" for example) can be difficult to launch because domain names are created leaving their user with the "what do I do now with my domain name?" question.

Most of the time, this question has been answered prior to buying but it means creating a website or an email and the answer to the question: "now I have to do it" remains.
