These kinds of domains always rubbed me the wrong way. Not only does it abuse the intent of the TLD, but the dot breaks up the word in an odd place. I just imagine trying to tell someone this domain in person and it feels very awkward. Why not just go with spaceprobedata.com or spaceprobes.org, or one of the other thousands of TLDs they have now?
It seems like this is a symptom of people wanting the shortest possible domain name, similar to people refusing to use a new TLD and instead spending thousands on a .com. It's all strange to me, but maybe I'm just a rule follower who doesn't care about vanity that much.
- lioeters 6y agoI thought I'd seen a phrase that describes these kinds of domains. Found it: > A domain hack is a domain name that suggests a word, phrase, or name when concatenating two or more adjacent levels of that domain. > For example, "bir.ds" and "examp.le", using the fictitious country-code domains .ds and .le, suggest the words birds and example respectively. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_hack https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_hack
