Somehow, unrelated.. With the rise of such cool OS projects like Puter[1], DaedalOS [2] et al. [3], with Krazam being one of them, I can't help but dream of the day when the .os TLD for operating systems is introduced. I believe it would make more sense to use/read krazam.os rather than krazam.tv.
About a year ago, new TLDs were introduced [4], with .zip and .mov being the most popular. However, the .os TLD wasn't on the list, which was disappointing for me!
I'm uncertain about the criteria that determine whether a TLD is a good candidate, and I may be the only one emotionally attached to the idea of a .os TLD. Nevertheless, the introduction of the .zip TLD faced numerous complaints[5],[6], particularly regarding security concerns.

- redsolver 3y agoAfaik all 2-letter TLDs are ccTLDs, which means they must be a country code of some country and are managed by it. There's no country with "os" yet, so to make the TLD available one would need to found a new country first!
- throwaway11460 3y agoLet's call it the Oasis of Servers. I guess we could find an old oil platform or something...
- redbell 3y agoOh, thanks for the clarification! I didn't thought about this.
- nisegami 3y agoI've been of the opinion for a while now that they should just go ahead and make all 26^2 two letter tlds available. Would be neat.
- s-phi-nl 3y agoIf they did that, everyone would worry about registering all the domains with a Levenshtein distance of 1 from theirs, in case of typos.
- SigmundurM 3y agoI may be wrong, but I believe all 2 letter TLDs are ccTLDs. All none ccTLDs would have to be 3 characters or longer.
- hahamaster 3y agoThen it's .ops
- user_7832 3y agoHow about .oess? "No, it's spelt o-ess. Yes, just like the 2 letters, O and S. What do you mean you're confused?"
