Name.com released .NINJA domain names yesterday
- glenda 12y agoI hope to never visit a website that ends in .ninja It makes me sad that they are allowing these 'trendy' words to become permanent tlds. Will people in 50 years still be interested in .ninja domains?
- thenmar 12y agoI think it'll be good to break out of the polluted and meaningless .com namespace.
- micampe 12y agoI think ccTLDs and the common TLDs work now more as signaling "this is a website" than as namespaces. When I read bounce.com I know it's a website, bounce.ninja not so much. We'll have to go back to 1999 when people didn't know about the web and you had to write http:// http:// everywhere.
- wlesieutre 12y agoI'd use www.bounce.ninja instead. People strongly associate www with websites, and it looks nicer too. Set it up to forward to bounce.ninja and people might catch on to the new TLDs in a decade or two.
- dlsx 12y agoYou say "meaningless" as if a 20 year standard that has been at the heart of the internet infrastructure since day one is "meaningless." Yet, finally we have a meaningful .ninja extension. I think it will be worthless just like the rest of these shit scams that profit off naive people like you who don't understand the word meaningless.
- mtbcoder 12y agoIs the whole 'ninja' trend even still a thing outside of a few random web design shops?
- wvenable 12y agoMeh. All the good host names are already taken.
- chrisdevereux 12y agoSounds perfect for my new unsecured lending startup idea...
- spacefight 12y agoI look forward to the day we wake up and regret introducing new and absurd TLDs. ICANN is run by a bunch of lobbyists, obviously.
- MarcScott 12y agoDammit, I see ninja.ninja has gone. I was hoping to have ninja@ninja.ninja as my email address.
- spacefight 12y agoAnyone notice the nice Google analytics tracking params within the URL? Tailored to HN...
- kolemcrae 12y agoYes. Is this a problem? They posted something they offer and people think it's interesting enough to discuss...
- thenmar 12y agoNice find. The account is an hour old, and is named after a meme referring to government incompetence/absurdity. I wonder how long they brainstormed that.
- micampe 12y agois an interesting link not interesting anymore if you add a tracking bug?
- drzaiusapelord 12y agoI imagine this will be successful as .biz domains, which as far as I can tell are home to spammy and illegitimate businesses unable to think of an original .com name.
- uniclaude 12y agoI thought, let's have a look, maybe register a domain and host some joke tumblog on this. Here was the search result: "javascript.ninja is AVAILABLE - $937 per year". Well, I guess I'll pass on grandmastership for the time being.
- steanne 12y agoshouldn't any attempt to visit a .ninja site end with a 404 anyway?
- snickn 12y agowhy regulate so heavily what's to the right of the dot? Isn't the right path to be open?
