There was some talk awhile back about openning up the TLDs to allow things like "dot"
I would love http://dot.dot/

Not my bag, but I reckon hent.ai would be a popular niche.
It covers both Hentai and AI fans! I'm scared of Elon Musk buying it and using it for himself.
I won't say it publicly or someone will take it! But I don't like this pay to win domain system we have now anyway
I got my (uncommon but not rare) surname and country code, similar to for example smith.uk, so I can have an email address like (but not exactly) john@smith.uk. Thatβs good enough for me.
My surname ends the letters ai, I'm tempted to get my surname as a domain to do exactly what you did, but .ai domains are so expensive...
I got the .net and .org of my last name, and offered $50 to the owner of the .com as he wasn't doing anything with it. Kind of a lowball, admittedly, but I would've gone up to a hundred or two. Instead, he told me it was worth thousands, which, lol, but then he didn't renew it, which I only found out because a random third person reached out to me as the owner of the .net offering me the .com. Turns out they hadn't actually bought it yet, though, so instead I scooped it up and now I've got the trifecta!
I have my .net and .nz /me looks at the domain I have Lemmy running onβ¦
Yep i love that one
I would like to do this with .com but has been held for several years so went with a newer TLD. It's mostly been fine aside from occasional person whose mail provider sends me to spam or the very few who block me outright.
fuckmy.life would be the one...π
cut-my.life/into/pieces
fb.com. I bet I could make a fortune selling that domain to Facebook.
I hate to break this to you but they've had it for decades. fb.com rewrites to facebook.com
Yeah, but I want it.
I think you'd loose ownership over the domain because you own it explicitly to take it hostage before facebook.
And because they have a trademark I think they could seize it.
Probably except if you have something like the matching initials or other reasons for why you'd have a right to it.
But I don't know if that is true.
Make up a name and host a small browser game. Like the Fable Beagles Game. Problem solved
Ty.com but those beanie baby mfers got it years ago.
whatsapp.com π
