Domains I love
- nelsonfigueroa 1y ago`n.pr` is neat. I had no idea that existed.
- mre 1y agoMy vote goes to .ws which redirects to a beer brand.
- trmdttr 1y agodoc.new for a new Google Docs document is really neat and I use it often. sheet.new, slide.new, and form.new does the same thing respectively.
- ahmedfromtunis 1y agoYeah, I use that so much for notes and stuff that I had to create an app script to clean my GDrive from the hundreds, if not 1000+, of "unnamed document"s left behind.
- deleted 1y ago[deleted]
- donbrae 1y agoA few of my favourites: brr.fyi, sheep.horse, timeflies.buzz, pudding.cool and bad.coffee.
- etaioinshrdlu 1y agoch.at is nice
- ahmedfromtunis 1y agoIt is indeed and with the rise of llm it can also be worth a lot of cash. Iirc openai bought chat.com for several millions of dollars lately.
- api 1y agotraceroute bad.horse
- superlopuh 1y agoI just get a bunch of stars.
- toast0 1y agoA bunch of stars aren't a very good horse?

- pimlottc 1y agoSome classics: - sci.fi - cr.yp.to - assimilated.b.org - tpc.int [0] 0: https://en.everybodywiki.com/The_Phone_Company https://en.everybodywiki.com/The_Phone_Company
- echelon 1y ago- http://endless.horse/ http://endless.horse/ - https://ofcourse.horse/ https://ofcourse.horse/ - `traceroute -m 50 bad.horse` [1] Does anyone remember the "every man" something or other Japanese website with funny WebGL / Three.js experiments from back in ~2015? It had a character builder and fun interactivity, and I could have sworn I learned about it on HN. I think Adult Swim briefly bought it and then shuttered it. It had a really silly domain name. [1] https://imgur.com/aklGICS https://imgur.com/aklGICS
- xyst 1y ago> cr.yp.to Very "del.icio.us"-esque
- masfuerte 1y agocr.yp.to is five years older than del.icio.us.
- ahmedfromtunis 1y agob.org must be worth millions though!
- dhbradshaw 1y agoOne of my favorites (only great if you read the site contents): https://how.rl.works https://how.rl.works
- vavooom 1y agoAssuming this references Reinforcement Learning? If so... valid
- zackify 1y agoMy favorite is my first name .codes Got it the night before .codes released and have had others try to buy it off me a few times. Never!
- stickperson 1y agoNeat! How did you find out (and when) .codes was going to be released?
- zackify 1y agoHonestly I think I happened to be on godaddy like 12 years ago looking for a domain and saw it was coming soon. And then I stayed up and tried to get a domain haha
- happytoexplain 1y agowill.i.am Anybody else whose name or moniker is a FQDN?
- omneity 1y agokinda? omarkama.li
- wink 1y agoI refrained from getting it - but it's been free for the last 25 years. Uncommon name + ending in a relatively uncommon TLD. I have <mylastname.>de and I'm happy enough with that.
- slazaro 1y agoKim Dotcom? kim.com
- Zircom 1y agoI've always wanted zir.com but had to settle for notzir.com
- deleted 1y ago[deleted]
- elashri 1y agoI discovered these two domain for GitHub and since then I use them all the time repo.new (new repository page) gist.new (new gist page)
- vishnuharidas 1y agodocs.new (new Google Doc) sheets.new (new Google Sheet)
- deleted 1y ago[deleted]
- raybb 1y agohttps://m.me https://m.me is a nice domain to get to the dedicated FB messenger website.
- thinkling 1y agoTIL that .me is the TLD for Montenegro and not, as I had thought, owned by Apple for its MobileMe platform.
- GuB-42 1y agoAll two letter TLDs are country codes. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_code_top-level_domain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_code_top-level_domain
- ahmedfromtunis 1y agoAgree. Much better than the fb.com they got for the main site.
- 65 1y agoI always liked https://frame.work https://frame.work and https://play.date https://play.date
- ahmedfromtunis 1y agoThis reminded of e.foundation. I find it hilarious that they combined the shortest domain with the longest tld :D
- moralestapia 1y agoI own two that I really like. sci.app and vga.ai ^^ Some good ones I can think of: archive.org (does what it says) ifconfig.me (same name as the tool) noise.fm (I want this for a personal project but came in late) js.org radio.garden
- 9d 1y agoOh oh! Include 90s.dev! Such a perfect domain name, a built in pun. What a waste.
- vid 1y agoI have nicer.info but haven't put it to use in 12 years. ob https://files.ohai.social/media_attachments/files/111/755/746/859/747/956/original/e5c25cde00fedbad.jpeg https://files.ohai.social/media_attachments/files/111/755/74...
- xyst 1y agoNPR not using the n.pr domain beyond a simple redirect to npr.org is an absolute shame.
- ValentineC 1y agoI have little faith in the government organisations and registrars that run ccTLDs (which are likely to have political risk as well), and I'm glad that NPR likely thinks the same way.
- ahmedfromtunis 1y agoExactly. For that same reason I can't understand why startups tie their websites with some of the least stable countries out there. I took notion too long to transition from that .so domain to the .com.
- tobinfekkes 1y agoI have narcissistech.me to chronicle how similar the behavior of tech companies follows that of a narcissistic :P
- ahmedfromtunis 1y agoI was about to suggest narcissis.tech but then I understood the joke. Well played!
- vinc 1y agoA long time ago, after Flickr got acquired by Yahoo, I decided to make my own web app to host my photos because I had found the perfect domain for it: https://pi.ctu.re https://pi.ctu.re I also needed to build another app to fetch and resize the images, and found it neat to use the following: https://infra.stru.ctu.re https://infra.stru.ctu.re In term of users the service never went anywhere and it's quite dated now but it doesn't cost much to keep it online and it's open source.
- ahmedfromtunis 1y agoHa! I love how you used one domain to get 2 names (or what these can be called?) le.ctu.re is also a viable option ;) Also this reminds of del.icio.us (not sure about the placement of that first dot, though). Epic domain and legendary service. RIP!
- riskable 1y agoI have youknowwhat.com. Bought it back when there was only one company selling domains and you had to pay two years in advance. I used to get SO many "ecard" receipts from people who thought they were being clever by putting the "From:" as youknowwho@youknowwhat.com It was so many emails, in fact, that I had to change email providers because they were threatening to kick me off from the traffic. That, and every other spammy email system that existed because that email address was in every single mailing list ever haha.
- ahmedfromtunis 1y agoThis reminds of the lady who had gmail.com (iirc) and, for years, refused to sell it to Google. The URL does redirect to the mail service but not sure if I'm remembering wrong or she finally got an offer even she couldn't pass.
- winterqt 1y agoDo you mean gail.com?
- charliemeyer 1y ago[dead]
- NKosmatos 1y agoI’m going to be this “old grumpy” guy and mention that I hate it when I see plain text URLs which aren’t hyperlinked… come on, we’re in 2025 just do us a favor and put links, why do I have to select the text, copy it, open a new tab and then paste it (I’m using an older iPad). Even on desktop I have to select the text, right click and then visit the site. First world problems :-)
- ahmedfromtunis 1y agoThat was a deliberate choice, actually. This is about the domains and not the websites!
- Aldipower 1y agoWhy is there no anchor href (aka link) on those domains? Come on, this is a webpage.
- harism_ 1y agohacker.news (not official but a neat redirect)
- bdcravens 1y agoOne of the best domains I've ever seen is a local law firm in Houston, Pusch and Nguyen, who leaned into the common misspellings and has pushwin.com. (Alas, it's just a redirect to their main domain)
- nocoiner 1y agoYou should see their billboards around here. They lean into the pun very heavily.
- samschooler 1y agoI'm working on a personal project (which is very much not done) which is at the domain https://invit.ing/ https://invit.ing/ It's for creating little invites for small events. Each event gets a https://invit.ing/ https://invit.ing/ short link. No plans to make it profitable, just fun to build :)
- sudobash1 1y agoJust the other day I noticed that some kind soul set up http://subprocess.run http://subprocess.run to redirect to the python3 documentation. I do get frustrated sometimes at the "omnibar" because of its inability to determine if I want to search for something or go to a url. It is especially irksome because the TLDs keep getting extended and I can't keep track anymore.
- quadhome 1y agohttps://cr.app https://cr.app is the time wasting microsite for the DTC toilet paper company Who Gives A Crap.
