Aka why I mainly stick with .com

• belval 6y ago
  The issue it that a lot of .com are taken so for the sake of a personal email address it is not ideal. The person that owns "belval.com" literally registered it before I was born so I settled for "belval.org", "belval.me", "belv.al" but only the first one is accepted by most company.

    Exactly, I too had to use .net & .us, because.com was registered in 1995.

    All 4-letter .com's were taken as of 2013. https://whoapi.com/blog/we-are-out-of-4-letter-com-domains/ https://whoapi.com/blog/we-are-out-of-4-letter-com-domains/ I wonder how long until all 5- and 6- letter are gone.

    My last name ends in al but the domain is taken. The .com one is taken by a guy who’s using it to showcase his Holocaust family tree (oddly enough his son had a run in with my sis a while back). I tried reaching out to him to see if he was interested in taking like .org but he’s not :( so I got .me

      I offered $1k (there's nothing on belval.com) and belval.org to the owner of belval.com, he just replied to say "never contact me again" as if I was with the mob or something. It was a weird experience.

        So weird. Why would you hold something without any plan to sell it, nor a thought towards using it?
