Sh for shell scripts.

Valid, but it's run by a group in the UK that runs several of the popular ones. It's prooooobably not going anywhere.

[magnus919@lemmy.brandyapple.com]

.us is often fun.

[whatwhatwhatwhat@lemmy.world]

.sucks

I maintain that this was made purely as an income stream for registrars. Every single company and brand should be rushing to buy companyname.sucks. Every town buying yourtown.sucks. Every political candidate getting into bidding wars over candidate.sucks or opponent.sucks.

I’ll go with .zip because it’s so stupid, it’s funny. It’s like selling .pdf or .docx and expecting zero shenanigans.

But in all seriousness, I like .website. It’s short and to the point. This is my website.

[kitnaht@lemmy.world]

.com it's cheap, it's available, I don't have to worry about a country pulling the thing out from under me, it's standard in people's minds (people don't know what a URI/URL is, but they know what a .com is immediately)

[kitnaht@lemmy.world]

Honestly, that price for registration is tempting.

Fucking ".sucks" is $270+ to register!! O_O Fuck that.

[gaiety@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

i know it isnt short but, .monster is so fun

[object@sh.itjust.works]

.ch

• Renewal is cheap, even if the domain is short
• No particular requirements for registering
• Automatic WHOIS lookup is disabled
• Easy domain hacks
• Decent reputation, ranks low in mail spam rate

I kinda like it lol, if there was a federated game of some kind Id prob buy one. A game with federated chat could be cool, so you can chat when not playing.

[dil@is.hardlywork.ing]

Lol .jpg and .abc domains when? Actually suprised abc isnt one while xyz is, maybe alembics already existed.

[dil@is.hardlywork.ing]

Too many file extensions can be used as domains lol

[dil@is.hardlywork.ing]

Hunger.sucks for a charity maybe lmao

[dil@is.hardlywork.ing]

Doesn't it require identifying yourself or something? I saw the warning and moved on.

[hmmm@sh.itjust.works]

I literally thought you mean domain expansion.

[beerclue@lemmy.world]

Got a .cc for my home-lab, and a very cheap .li for a website I'm building. Other than that i got .de, .eu and .com for my name and my kids names. Don't know if they'll ever use them, but meh, a .de is a few cents per month.

[retro@infosec.pub]

I'll only really use .com or .net, with the exception of .cc, which are for short domains.
