Especially with this one. There is no room for competition since each verb can only be used once with the ing suffix. Well, competition for who is willing to pay the most, but from the consumer side there can only be one URL.
- toast0 3y agoi mean, if you can't get fuck.ing/cool, you can go with reallyfuck.ing/cool or getsurf.ing gosurf.ing learnsurf.ing or justhang.ing/out etc I think I'm at my limit of dumb domain names for no reason though, so I'll pass on this round.
- supermatt 3y agoReallyfuckingcool.net or .org available, same for getsurfing, learnsurfing and justhangingout. With all these domains there’s no real point unless you are getting a dictionary word or a specific name, imho.

- pdntspa 3y agoWhich just outlines how it is a money-grab for existing property owners. Yet another stupid vanity domain you're forced to add to your portfolio!
- marcus_holmes 3y agoI wonder if we're at the point that the costs of registering a new TLD are immediately recouped from the set of large businesses that must register their name in every TLD?
- Ayesh 3y agoI was thinking about this too. Some TLDs look like an obvious obligatory money grab (such as .download), so companies are compelled to buy it. I have seen some TLDs owned by a company and didn't even bother to set a redirect. My anecdote is that the ICANN annual fee ($25k) is easily covered by these obligatory registrations and the premium domains. The cost of running nameservers aren't that high. NS1 has an offering, but it's impossible to find their pricing for anything.
