What, then, is the point of a domain name at all? You can get Google to index your IP. Save cash, protect yourself somewhat from USA or some other police state pulling your domain...there are myriad benefits.
- Navarr 14y agoThe point of a domain name is an easy to remember address. Not a guessing game. Not an easy to guess address. I'm not even sure how you came to that conclusion based on what I said. Multiple domain names (like book et al) will hopefully be easier to remember. Things like "harrypotter.book" or "looking-for.love" won't be easy to forget if you see them once. Domains shouldn't be a guessing game anyway.
- shykes 14y agoEven when people stop using DNS to find what they're looking for, they'll still use it for a long time to confirm that they're in the right place. Numeric IPs definitely don't pass the smell test. In fact some browsers might even display phishing warnings.
- MichaelGG 14y agoHaving more gTLDs just makes "finding the right place" even more difficult. Is mybank.com/.bank/.money/.finance correct? SSL will be easy to get on the other domains. With arbitrary gTLDs, it just makes the domain name even less useful for identifying than it currently is.
