- jchendy 12y agoAre any serious websites using the new TLDs?
- NameNickHN 12y agoI guess they will be very soon. Why else have Google, Amazon and Microsoft applied for that many TLDs? It'll be like with .io and .ly.
- tuananh 12y agoThey did it just to be safe.
- NameNickHN 12y agoThat might be true for some. Especially Microsoft seems to have only registered for their brands. But Google applied for .baby, .books, .movie, .music and many other non-brand TLDs.
- thejosh 12y agoArms race. Get in early so others don't get the "good" ones. :)
- MojoJolo 12y agoWell, I own http://tease.red/ http://tease.red/ and http://teaser.link/ http://teaser.link/ redirected to TextTeaser. tease.red may correspond to some porn cams because of tease. But I want it because I want it to be read as "teasered". Like the text was teasered after it was summarized by TextTeaser. I also own jolo.sexy. Just for fun though.
- TazeTSchnitzel 12y ago.scot will likely be very popular in Scotland, especially if this year's referendum sees a Yes vote.
- mulligan 12y agopirate.ceo happens to be available
- sebastianavina 12y agoand tit.management
- dfritsch 12y agotit.directory also seems to be available.
- danieldk 12y agoLots of pirate names are still available: https://www.gandi.net/domain/buy/result/ https://www.gandi.net/domain/buy/result/ E.g.: pirate.bar, pirate.academy, and pirate.dating.
- dbaupp 12y agoThe .ceo registrar lays it on rather thick: http://nic.ceo/ http://nic.ceo/ > dotCEO is for dotDoers, dotGrowers, dotInnovators, dotMovers and dotShakers only > dotCEO says more in three letters than an entire website on dotCOM
- aharris66 12y agoA much better implementation than my own crappy.domains. I assume they are generated from a list. Would be nice to be able to pick the TLD you want to generate domains for.
- ForFreedom 12y agoWhoever this guy is, he had money to throw on these names. These new GTLDs are a waste
- aristidb 12y agoHe didn't buy any of them, it's just an affiliate frontend for a registrar
- zobzu 12y agosquatting.soon
- kaeruct 12y agouseless.domains
- memonkey 12y agoJust a few: balls.uno sexy.education crooked.plumbing such.construction fart.diamonds
- Ryanmf 12y agoshitty.enterprises butt.construction wank.academy bum.careers So this might be my new favorite website. (also, Andrew WK oughtta register party.institute)
- amorphid 12y agofrisky.limo I thought about buying it for a moment.
- adamnemecek 12y agoI thought about frisky.pics. It's a pretty great name for some sexting snapchat competitor.
- fophillips 12y agoballs.pics
- junto 12y agoI saw 'butt.pink' I reckon that might be a NSFW website.
- victorvation 12y agoI know doge is tired at this point, but such.education still made me chuckle.
- pmx 12y agosuch.education/very-learn
- ethana 12y agoslippery.contractors
- gugol 12y agoAre there any discussions here on HN that talk about this new TLDs and whether them are good for the Internet or not?
- rictic 12y agoJust bought crap.today
- ForFreedom 12y agoHA! I just thought of it. What are you going to do with it?
- PeterisP 12y agoAt the very least it has a practical use for marketing anti-constipation medicines...
- laurenstill 12y agoI'm ashamed, but I grabbed shitty.recipe. I put most of my bachelor frog friends to shame, so maybe it will be fun.
- ForFreedom 12y agoAnd there is the .XYZ!
- jrockway 12y agoWell, that was hilarious. I now own crap.lighting. I think the web page will be a black background, and that's it.
- krazydad 12y agofart.management
- buro9 12y agoThat site just made me realise that my surname (kitchen) has now become a .gtld Someone else clearly figured this out before me though and firstname.surname has gone already. What would I have done with it though? I've already discovered through having a .cc domain that there are many companies, websites and forms that simply don't accept unexpected domains. For example, in the past I've spent several days on the phone with a business insurance company trying to get the policy emailed to the company email address and failing because somewhere in their system emails only get routed to 'valid' addresses where 'valid' includes known domain names. The only solution was buying a .com as well to use in such circumstances.
- vidarh 12y agoYou should get your-email-system-is-broken.com to give out addresses on in those cases.
- drdaeman 12y agoAnd they won't accept it because they didn't expect any dashes in the domain name!
- PeterisP 12y agoThis is a big point. The internet probably has a million systems that have a regexp somewhere listing all the top level domain names that were valid at the time, and half of them aren't maintained and will stay broken forever. That being said, email validation needs to check for trivial issues (i.e., have you entered a non-empty string? does it have a @ somewhere?) and the proper validation happens if a verification email gets delivered or not.
- TazeTSchnitzel 12y agoTo be honest, ^.+@.+$ is probably all you need, along with a confirmation email.

- epsylon 12y agoSome of these are awesome: literally.guitars and crap.gift would make awesome e-commerce names !
- andrey-p 12y agodoodle.pics could be your startup name right there.
- fophillips 12y agowow.buzz is 18,480 USD
- junto 12y agoWhere can I find a list of all of the new .gtlds?

- sp332 12y agoThere's no guarantee that a particular company was able to grab their own .com anyway. Remember when people looking for Python would go to python.com when it was a wholesale porn distributor? Or when whitehouse.com was a porn site?
- cjbprime 12y ago> Look at this with your grandmothers eyes: Just a quick call-out for casual sexism and ageism: you can say "the average person" without implying that women and old people can't use technology properly.
- pom 12y agoMust... resist... urge... to buy... penis.computer domain...
- instakill 12y agoGood luck explaining this to the common man: You: "Visit my website, it's fashion.boutique" Guy: "dot com?" You: "No, dot boutique" Guy: "huh?"
- darkhorn 12y agonormal guy: go to this forum slash.dot average guy: /..? .com? wut? normal guy: ... go to http://goo.gl/4oVmvo http://goo.gl/4oVmvo
- Lerc 12y agoI had these turn up. party.marketing crooked.agency wow.bargains I can see this being a cybersquatters dream.
- stevesearer 12y agolady.international was a favorite for me
- brianbreslin 12y agoI get the impression if I registered briansrecipes.com I would get better traffic than brian.recipes . Or am I wrong? So much of this is irrelevant since people google rather than type in urls
- PeterWhittaker 12y agocrap.zone ('Nuff said.)
- caw 12y agovery.photos is $24.99. Seems doge related and I'm surprised if someone doesn't take it soon.
- k__ 12y agoWhen I heard about the new TLDs I thought it was the opportunity to get my very own butt domain. Now I own butt.ventures A dream came true ;_;
