I’m quite appalled. Pre-order now! Wonderful new TLD! Buy!
But, it will cost an extra $1m if you want to do it now. Later than that, pay less but wait longer, and risk losing it.
So, pay up or get lost. Can’t afford $1m for a domain? Sorry, bozo, maybe you can have the scraps when the bullies are done eating.
This whole business is massive trash. The days of owning your own domain with any kind of nice name are fading and being replaced with “premium” domains with massive prices.
I very much would like domains to bugger off and be replaced by something that isn’t becoming another swamp on the Internet.
With that, most of the companies that can register .ing for you, listed on their website, will tell you that “.ing” does not exist. Clearly, Google didn’t tell them about launch or they aren’t ready.
This whole thing makes me sad. The Internet is dying and being replaced by literally anything for a quick buck. Now with added smoke and mirrors.
- personjerry 3y agoMakes me wanna boycott that whole TLD tbh
- codetrotter 3y agoRun a caching DNS resolver for your own devices and have it return NXDOMAIN for everything under .ing and other TLDs that you don’t like
- imp0cat 3y agoYou either boycott, or you can be the k.ing! :D
- aatd86 3y agoI see eat.ing, own.ing, fad.ing and be.ing, th.ing, dy.ing, anyth.ing Plop!

- nusl 3y agoInterestingly, it seems I made pre-registrations for .ing in 2016 that I had forgotten about. Unsure if they are still valid.

- themagician 3y agoDoes it even matter anymore? Domains have been replaced with apps and search anyway. Outside of maybe the top 100 domains, how many people are actually typing out a domain?
- rafark 3y agoI wonder if there’s a better alternative to current domain formats? Like, wouldnt it be great if you could just use your organization name without an extension? Like just google or apple or whatever. Instead of google.com or apple.com You can’t register tlds with those names anyway (a random person can’t register google.xyz) so why bother with extensions? Maybe not get rid of the altogether but as an alternative?

- judge2020 3y agoIt's possible to register at the root, but ICANN has disallowed it for gTLDs (countries see ccTLDs as TLDs they "own" so ICANN isn't interested in trying to impose too many rules on them - http://ai http://ai. ) And companies have definitely purchased their own TLD for use cases that don't violate ICANN. For example: https://blog.youtube https://blog.youtube https://applecard.apple https://applecard.apple https://pki.goog/ https://pki.goog/ https://goo.gle https://goo.gle and of course https://registry.google https://registry.google / https://blog.google https://blog.google which was the domain submissed.
- doublerabbit 3y agoIf you could sway people to change the "scary IP DNS settings" you could crush the TLD racket overnight. Change your DNS server to OpenDNS projects like OpenNIC. [0] There is nothing stopping me from running my own .ing tld on my own DNS servers other than the mainstream default ISP configured to the de-facto. It's not illegal.

- nusl 3y agoMany hosts these days make that quite easy, fortunately. Though at the same time it's still a bit of black magic that most folks are intimidated by
- totetsu 3y agoHow exciting! grift.ing is available.
- jug 3y agoI guess domain.grift.ing would be a fun alias to register and set up.
