The [[Registry]] behind .best originally announced that the [[Sunrise Period]] for the TLD would begin April 17, 2014 for a period of 30 days, ending 19 May 2014. They would then go to the [[Landrush Period]] on May 20th. However, they later announced that due to "little engagement" in the  Landrush phase, they canceled that phase and opted to go straight to General Availability two days after the Sunrise period ends.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/16490-dotbest-cancels-landrush DotBest Cancels Landrush, DomainIncite] Retrieved 18 April 2014</ref>
