.ing TLD now generally available
- _boffin_ 3y agoNamecheap is telling me that any of the `.ing` tlds i'm looking for are $13k... sorry, but f-off!
- JohnTHaller 3y agoNew domains rolling out with 'reserved' words that cost $50K+ direct from the registrar. Who is really buying these at this point with so main domain extensions available?
- thiht 3y agoPretty cool TLD, I like this one.
- payzero 3y agoThis is fuck.ing terrible
- eimrine 3y agoIs it surprising that Adobe has sign.ing ?
- sonicanatidae 3y agoNot at all. I believe they also have snapped up: WeCantWritePatchesOrStableCodeToSaveOurFuckingLives.ing.
- noduerme 3y agoThey're really good at removing features that used to work, though. Or just partially breaking them.
- sonicanatidae 3y agoMy favorite part is the ubiquitous vulns.
- travem 3y agoThey do have a business around e-signatures related to the prevalence of pdf for electronic documents. If you go to Adobe.com it is one of their top level menu items "PDF and E-signatures" for instance so seems relatively important to them.
- eli 3y agoAdobe Sign is a product
- DanAtC 3y agoThese new tlds are a racket. If you can, get access to czds.icann.org and look over the zone files for .ing and .meme. No one is registering domains for anything other than trademark protection and speculative squatting. A lot of money spent for nothing.
- madarco 3y agoany way to get the list and prices of all the "premium" domains that are not registered but have a custom (high) price to register/renew?
- m000 3y agoCapitalism breeds innovation. /s
- hobotime 3y agoGood thinking comrade. Enjoy people's glorious RusNet that is most popular.
- someone7x 3y agoA lot of money is right! First word I tried is priced in the thousands! > trash.ing > Your domain is available! > Premium name > 1,625.00 USD
- organsnyder 3y ago> A lot of money spent for nothing. Unfortunately, noth.ing appears to be taken.
- smugma 3y agoIng having bank.ing is the best one.
- smugma 3y agoBetter than my idea that they’d get ing.ing.
- organsnyder 3y agoOr www.ing
- wombarly 3y agoThey don't have ideal.ing though, waiting for the first scams to start popping up. iDEAL is the payment system in the Netherlands. And they use ideal.ing.nl for it.
- tecleandor 3y agoWell, if you try to register 'rain.ing', it's a premium domain, so it's €14k a year. Not today, thanks.
- taneliv 3y agoDon't worry if it's not your rainy day, "How exciting! sunshin.ing is available."
- diceduckmonk 3y agob.ing is 100k+ a year
- WesolyKubeczek 3y agoI'm waiting until .shit is available. Maybe I'll be able to afford a place there.
- stephenr 3y agoUnfortunately shitt.ing is already taken but defecat.ing is available and it's only like €23.
- Dylan16807 3y agoDon't worry, .computer is already available.
- sva_ 3y agoThere is .sucks
- pieterr 3y agoHow exciting! interest.ing is available.
- gumballindie 3y ago> How exciting! work.ing £102,986.75 £102,986.75/yr when you renew A steal.
- maratc 3y agoas is excit.ing :)
- hypeatei 3y agoNaturally, someone already registered "fuck.ing"
- m000 3y agoSo are "pegg.ing" and "rimm.ing". But don't worry, you can still have "fist.ing".
- Helmut10001 3y agoInteresting that surf.ing was captured by a legit, cool & local event!
- aidenn0 3y agono-fuck.ing was still available at the time of this comment though.
- tracerbulletx 3y agoThis lame google registry page just reminds me how pissed I am at them for selling Google domains.
- wnevets 3y agoSide note they sold it to Squarespace who doesn't support .ing domains.
- arkadiytehgraet 3y agoI wonder if this TLD being available now will increase the number of scammers and fraudsters scamming clients of ING bank. On the one hand, having quite strong association with the bank name right in the domain name surely must increase trustworthiness of the link, but then the people who bother to read URLs in the first place are probably more likely to notice the scam anyway...
- autoexec 3y agoI have no doubt this TLD will be used for phish.ing <bank name>.bank.ing <bank name>.pay.ing <credit card>.charg.ing <email service>.renew.ing <online store>.shipp.ing <delivery service>.track.ing etc. Worse, there will be some number of companies stupid enough to pay for and start using .ing for legitimate reasons further confusing people as to which URLs are legitimate.
- callalex 3y agoICANN has completely failed their mandate and needs to be destroyed and replaced.
- mikea1 3y agoI'm curious what part of ICANN's mandate is a failure. My understanding is that introducing new TLDs was part of it. > 7. The Creation of New gTLDs. The Green Paper suggested that during the period of transition to the new corporation, the U.S. Government, in cooperation with IANA, would undertake a process to add up to five new gTLDs to the authoritative root. https://www.ntia.gov/federal-register-notice/statement-policy-management-internet-names-and-addresses https://www.ntia.gov/federal-register-notice/statement-polic... Maybe there are too many new TLDs?
- notnullorvoid 3y agoDomain names in general are a flawed idea. Had public/private key pair cryptography been further along at the beginning of the web, I think we would have wound up with something like public keys that users add a nickname to. Similar to what we already do with phone numbers, but "ownership" locked to a private key.
- apitman 3y agoWhat happens when you lose your private key? I don't love it, but I'm glad that my domain names are just an entry in a database somewhere that a human can change if necessary. It's a tradeoff I'm willing to make.
- notnullorvoid 3y agoThere are ways to securely backup private keys. Loosing your domain name is a far worse. Not only will you not get it back, but whoever owns it now will get all your web traffic. In contrast even if you loose the private key, you could continue to serve any static assets signed by that key, and create a new private key for future assets. There would also likely end up being plenty of "phone-book" services where you could go and provide a new private key for your company. We already have some of these: Google (Maps), Yelp, Yellow Pages, etc.
- saghm 3y agoDid anyone else notice that the top of the page says "gett.ing a new domain", but the domain they decided to use instead was "get.ing"? I imagine that whoever picked it expected people to pronounce it "get dot ing", but it just looks like "geting" to me, and I don't even know what that means. I've heard advice that when trying to name a product, it's a good idea to check Urban dictionary before finalizing a name to make sure you don't accidentally pick something crude. It looks like "gete" is mostly okay though, so they may have gotten lucky here. (edited "get.ting" to "get.ing" because even when this is what I wanted to talk about I apparently subconsciously refuse to type "geting" as a domain)
- dimitarnestorov 3y ago"get" is a common second level domain used by Google for all their TLDs. Look at get.app, get.dev, get.zip, get.mov, get.meme, etc.
- imadethis 3y agoEven better - they also have gett.ing, which redirects to get.ing.
- saghm 3y agoThat feels super backwards! Why not have the typo redirect to the correct spelling?
- divbzero 3y agoThey should consider an alternative like fetch.ing, buy.ing, or register.ing.
- kaffekaka 3y agoGeting is swedish for wasp. Would be a cool domain name, shame it is taken.
- SwiftyBug 3y ago> I've heard advice that when trying to name a product, it's a good idea to check Urban dictionary before finalizing a name to make sure you don't accidentally pick something crude Yeah, imagine picking something like Go Daddy for the name of your company.
- pixelpoet 3y agoIt sure must be nice to be gifted the right to sell these domains for any extortionate price you like... I looked at think.ing and it's a cool 36k eur per year at Namecheap, 43k at (those scumlords) Godaddy. Pssshhhhh, what absolutely transparent grifting.
- stonogo 3y agoCongratulations to Google on having finally realized their rent-collecting dream. As the company discovers that this revenue stream requires almost no work, I look forward to the slow degradation of every other business line as the company transitions over the next twenty years to 'digital landlord' status.
- deepspace 3y agoGofundme missed an opportunity by not snagging begg.ing
- Joker_vD 3y agoHow many more gTLDs does the world need? Honestly? Perhaps we could add one for every single letter in the Latin alphabet, what.a goo.d ide.a! Let's also add one for all common English suffixes too: .ion would be great to have, as well as .ed and both .ally and .ly exist already. And there are also non-English languages, too! Of course, .too, .already, .enough, and .please would be amazing additions as well.
- fragmede 3y agoit's only like $300k. Anyone want to go in on .js with me?
- Ekaros 3y agoI wonder if 2 letters are reserved for potential ccTLDs. As such just need to form a new country... Easiest way might be to secession.
