Suggestion: Allow the user to sort the list by number of applications.
input_sh•29m ago
Top five: .agent (13 applicants), .bit (11), .hub (10), .brand (10), .api (10)
skrtskrt•19m ago
More applications should mean they have to compete on price tbh.

Sure if AirBnb wants to administer .airbnb and charge a lot, whatever.

But `.bit` domains should be some bargain basement price if so many people want to run it.

input_sh•11m ago
That's exactly how it works. For example, Google's winning bid for .app ended up being $25m.
MarsIronPI•48m ago
Am I the only one who's not a fan of these new, longer TLDs? IMO TLDs should be two or three characters. I'm not sure why I feel this way, but there's something unwieldy about a TLD like .cooking.
jnettome•36m ago
What we really need is one char TLDs so we bring back WWW

eg: www.x

OutOfHere•35m ago
2 to 4 chars is a good range.
ocdtrekkie•34m ago
In theory it can be shorter. Imagine good.cooking is shorter than goodcooking.com

But every one of these plays with all sorts of collisions of user expectations. "word.cloud.microsoft" is one of those URLs that will never look right to me, but is now a corporate staple.

embedding-shape•48m ago
Finally .scam might be something for all us scammer, I'm tired of getting mixed up with a bunch of honest-looking people.

None of this seem to have any rhyme or reason. What's the reason for these to exists, besides to raise funds for whorever is selling these?

etatester•43m ago
The cat is out of the bag. TLDs are now the domains of the rich. Why not have .taylorswift? It's just 250k https://gtlds.fyi/names/taylorswift

As for the rest, meh, these could be "I have an idea for a domain" but the domain costs 250k

sixtyj•46m ago
Every possible word can become a TLD :)
fooqux•32m ago
Why limit yourself to just words? I'm hoping to get one of the single-letter domains on the new abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz TLD if I can afford it.
varun_ch•41m ago
so many TLDs that seem to be exploiting similarity to existing ones?

.cmo/.con are particularly egregious

sheept•7m ago
I wonder if xyz.com is simply requesting TLDs based on domains their users enter, so cmo and con come from their users’ typos rather than malicious intent. It would be similar to how some registrars park domains when a user checks if a domain is available.
JoshTriplett•4m ago
That would be an absurd amount of money to spend on typosquatting.
OutOfHere•36m ago
Why are these TLDs so tightly bound to a specific organization? Why can't their registration be more open? Keeping them so locked down makes them useless. Or am I misunderstanding something?
majorchord•10m ago
I thought TLDs were sponsored/registered by corporations, and hence had a say in what can be registered on that TLD and by whom.
pasc1878•35m ago
How many of these are companies that learnt from the 1990s and made sure they registered their own name/tradmarks etc rather than having to buy them off scalpers, even though they might have no plans to use them?
bhaney•33m ago
> .lan

Don't you dare, Coffee Danger LLC

skrtskrt•21m ago
Seriously that is the sort of thing that could get you hunted down by angry nerds.

I am NOT going to use .home.arpa.

devmor•30m ago
I'm exhausted by all of the new gTLDs at this point, opening them up to specific companies and organizations basically violated the entire purpose of a gTLD in the first place.
yathern•29m ago
Very useful! I found this article a really good summary of the gtld situation:

NSFW warning please. I clicked on this link while my screen was visible to to others and freaked out.
skrtskrt•26m ago
I have been looking for an expansion of TLDs that are short, have a decent ring for self-hosting stuff, and don't sound too scammy.

Like `.link` is pretty cool but it's expensive because one of those personal-link-inbio companies created it and wants to cash in on it.

Just from scanning these, maybe:

* .air

* .bit

* .hub

* .iam

* .index (long but I love how universal it is)

* .lab

* .log

* .pod

* .port

* .self is really interesting, wonder if that would take off

* .sys

* .zen

gregdotca•23m ago
Very nice! Some more sorting and filtering options would be handy, and some more view options, so each TLD doesn't take up half the screen when it has a lot of applicants.

PS - Your Source link is a 404.

gelstudios•23m ago
i'd like to see this (filter / exclude) the dotBrand or brand-specific TLDs, as they are not open to the general public.

like .playstation or .airbnb or .nike
