I have a .link domain for my personal email and a lot of sites refuse to let me register because they don't recognize it as a valid TLD.
Then there's the textbook company that lets me register but refuses to let me reset my password claiming that I'm trying to enter an "invalid email address."
- devNoise 10y agoI've been using various emails on a personal domain for different sites. Some time this year Six Flags put in an email check and I can't register my season pass anymore. They give the following error: We were unable to finish validating your connection with the "*.net" email server. Yet I've been signed up for the pass holder announcements and get the email on a regular basis.
- GirlsCanCode 10y agoI had a .to domain for a while, and I had an email address "firstname@firstname.to" where firstname is my first name. I wanted to use it when I needed to give out emails causally, like if someone from Church or some other group wanted my email. I gave up on it, not because of computer validation but because of stupid people! Nobody would "get" the .to domain and they'd always think there should be a .com or .gmail.com on the end of it. Especially older people. So I gave it up.
- toomanybeersies 10y agoI'm discovering the same problem with my *.xyz domain name.
- icebraining 10y agoAs a counterpoint, I was surprised to see we've had very little trouble with our *.solutions domain, even from clients who are otherwise not very tech-savvy.
- justusthane 10y agoI sometimes have to repeat my @.ws email address more than once when reading it to someone, but I've never had a problem with anyone messing it up or thinking it's invalid.
