Looks like they were in a hurry to get this site out.
- nkozyra 8y agoI'm seeing a lot of this with the .dev sites.
- whatshisface 8y agoI don't see why .dev domains would have tighter deadlines than .com.
- dewey 8y agoBecause the domain registration just opened up?
- baud147258 8y agoAnd I don't think one need the domain name to start working on a website?
- nkozyra 8y agoPeople spent more money on them and are eager to show them off. For a very short period they will be a status symbol for internet companies.
- chiefalchemist 8y agoStatus symbol? Those who know won't likely be impressed. Those who don't can't be impressed. That might be what the buyer is hoping for, but the reality is they're probably mistaken.
- nkozyra 8y ago"Impressed" might not be the right word. Jealous, maybe. Would I like a .dev domain? Yep. Can I afford it? Nope. Therefore ... status symbol.
- lazyjones 8y agoBecause if you don't launch today, people won't see that you were eager to spend as much money on the domain as possible (i.e. for Phase 1)...
- kfwhp 8y agoThey already announced .dev in November, they've had plenty of time to design the website.
- CydeWeys 8y agoIf you run WHOIS on yc.dev you'll see that it was created prior to the beginning of the early access period yesterday. Also see: https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/announcements-and-media/announcement-10apr14-en https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/announcements-and-media/announ...
