Yeah, I used to speculate in domain names, and the ones that are coming up remind me of the crap ones I used to register before I knew what I was doing. Every once in a while you come up with unused ones that really stick out (like I remember there was "atomictangerine.com"), but otherwise I would recommend trying something more recognizable in a different tld (like "helloworld.blue" or something—there are a lot these days). My 2c.
- cj 6y agoIs there a market for niche TLD domains? If so, who are the people buying / using them? "helloworld.blue" sounds completely worthless to me. Even "hello.blue" - who would buy that for more than a few hundred dollars, and for what?

- jp555 6y agoIn your experience of speculating, have you come across any data about the frequency of people actually typing out domain names? I seem to be typing them less and less over time. Are we headed towards a business phone number 515-555-5555.com being a totally sufficient unique domain name? And then well why not just skip TLDs and share IP addresses?

- ad31mar 6y agoDitto.
- anderspitman 6y agoI do get the feeling having a domain is almost more about TLS than the name these days
- dgellow 6y agoIt's the case in China, that's one the thing that I really didn't expect when I went there, you had giant ads on building with 2038-232-423.cn (that's just random numbers, but you get the idea).
- ralmeida 6y agoI’ve never been to China, but it appears numbers are chosen over letters for ease of memorization, and are not always random digits: https://gizmodo.com/why-do-chinese-urls-use-numbers-not-letters-1571760829 https://gizmodo.com/why-do-chinese-urls-use-numbers-not-lett...
