ICANN opens applications for new gTLDs

: $227k gets you a hearing for your dot.vanity project, or strings in one of 27 scripts

Do you have ideas for TLDs? Here’s some of mine, not sure if any of these exist already:

  • .plus
  • .now
  • .ent (short for enterprise)
  • .one
  • .er (for domain hacks, don’t get any ideas)
  • .db
  • .source

    Care to explain? Anyone can buy any domain, and host anything they want on it. Domains don’t guarantee anything.

      It wasn’t serious. Just like .dot or .slop it’s more a joke than a serious suggestion. You wouldn’t seriously expect “AI” companies to dutifully buy .slop domains for their nonsense. Just like I wouldn’t seriously expect right wing parties, companies that support them or are “apolitical” or “undecided” to buy .profa domains.
      But it would be lovely of them.
