I personally like .dev and .studio

haui_lemmy,

I looked at a .dev domain today but its just too expensive imo. I dont have that much just to throw it at a name I like.

bbuez,

What provider? Mine off of porkbun was 30$ for 3 years at 14$ a year after discount and I managed to snag a relatively personal & unique name

haui_lemmy,

Wooow! It was 45 $ per year for the one I wanted. Might be due to the shortness of the domain. I cant remember the provider. But namecheap was 130 $ a year and godaddy as well.

.dev?

if your website has .gg in the name it is 99% likely a phishing site

what is wrong with .club and .cool? is it because they are words?

soulfirethewolf,

Aside from the fact that it’s owned by alphabet, what’s so bad about .xyz?

SpaceMan9000,

Insanely bad reputation, one hosting provider decided to sell .XYZ domains for 1 dollar per year.

This resulted in people with malicious intent buying up domains en masse to use it for malware delivery/phishing/whatever.

bisby,

I didn’t realize that. I use a .xyz for a lot of my personal stuff and didn’t realize this. I wanted basically .website … i didnt want .com or .org or anything with tld that meant something, so xyz felt nice. Also, the domain I wanted with any popular tld was insanely expensive and i got my xyz for cheap when it was brand new (not for 1 dollar though).

Maybe I need to look into new domains, but I probably will just stick with it since its primarily for personal use anyway.

JohnEdwa,

Alphabet uses it for abc.xyz because it’s funny, but the .xyz registrar is the British Team Internet/CentralNic.

Just like how they use youtu.be and goo.gl, but Alphabet doesn’t own Belgium or Greenland either. At least, not yet.
