What does /g/ thinkk about more obscure TLDs?
>.gg .ly .wf .re ...
icann wants money
Waste of money.
So apparently firstname.wf is available and I have an international first name, should I get it?
>>51307056
.wf makes no sense
>.io
>>51307200
It stands for Wallis and Futuna Islands
>>51307210
Costs a lot
>>51307056
>tfw wanted a firname.lastna.me domain
>tfw looked up the [last two letters of my last name] TLD
>tfw it costs ~$150/yr
>>51307031
.ly is Libya.
>>51307346
Yeah some are expensive. Kinda annonying because .io are cool
>>51307348
Yeah
>>51307445
>.io are cool
How's the Java course coming along?
>>51307505
>I am making a witty comment because I don't agree with you
Just stop, you're embarrassing yourself.
got firstnamelastname.xyz, so i'm good for a bit.
might check out others if they are cheap enough.
>>51307528
Calm down faggot, it was only a passing comment
90% of .io domains I come across are Pajeet's
Is it just me or has /g/ devlolved in to one giant vagina over the past two years?
Must be reddit.
>>51307572
Pajeet isn't a real name.
Do you mean Pajit by any chance?
>tfw .ez isn't an available TLD
>>51307558
>.xyz
Not sure how I feel about that TLD. How much was it?
>>51307572
You're making witty, smart-ass comment, what kind of reply are you expecting?
>>51307591
5 bucks for the first year.
best i could think of since .com was taken
>>51307591
>You're making witty, smart-ass comment, what kind of reply are you expecting?
I'm on /g/, I was expecting him to pick up the turd I just tossed at him and fling it back twice as hard
Well honestly I wasn't expecting a response but when I saw one I was expecting that
>>51307602
Yeah but then you get screwed the second year, how much is it to renew?
working for a big websecurity company with emailsecurity service as an analyst and we block domains with this tld without regret
>>51307628
haven't checked, but maybe.
>>51307629
You mean "these" ?
>>51307659
i wouldn't use some obscure tld if applying to the big firms in the biz.
Shit like .pw, .ly and so on even .xyz
>someone owns ggno.re
FUCK
>tfw too late to get nigge.rs
well, at least .ga is free and i can make a lot of word jokes with it in my language
>>51307713
someone owns motherba.se
FML
>>51307721
>Gabon
Who controls the dns servers anyway? You don't want some niggers shooting up and messing your shit.
Can you even register domains anyway? I heard it's restricted.
There's still .su for Soviet Union, it's reasonably expensive and you have to go through a Russian registrar though.
>>51307844
Is sudo.su available?
>>51307844
>.su
Wow seriously? How much and which registrar owns it?
>>51307849
why don't you visit it or perform a whois on it to see?
>>51307844
whois sudo.su

Don't ever use public services for domain whois availibility, they sell the lists to squatters and when you go to register then it won't be available.
>>51307877
Someone should register Putin.su, should watch the news after that, hueh.
Spammers often use .su tld
>tfw de.su
>>51307921
I'm laughing but wtf is it?
>>51307898
Wait seriously? Why would they, it costs $30 a year. Not too expensive but still.
>>51307944
don't ask. they have much spam targeted to the germans with financial spam or scam
>>51307957
>don't ask.
Fuck I'll ask and ask some more. Why do you say it's used by spammers? Makes little sense.
>>51307975
i work as an spam analyst so i have my sources and like i said its used for financial scam/ spam
>>51307990
What obscure TLD isn't?
>>51307994
many
>>51308003
Post some then
>>51308006
No sorry. Thats secret
>>51307898
the German Wikipedia page (with source) says that since 2011 you need to send copy of your passport to register .su, I don't know how that could work with big numbers of cybercrime under that domain, unless they all send in fake ones. Would be much easier to get one of the other domains.
>>51308015
Ah I get it. Regardless, you were right about .su
http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/may/31/ussr-cybercriminals-su-domain-space
>>51308058
Not if its russian scammers/spammers targeting the germs
tfw nameinitials.xyz for 1$ for a year
>>51308242
>.xyz
Because it's shit.
>>51307210
>funding street shitters.
>>51308242
first year only I suppose, $99 after because
>>51308294
>$99 after because
Don't tell me you're going to pay 100 bucks for a .xyz shit.
>>51308327
no I was exaggerating, but often times it's like $20 or $30, way over the price of com, org, net etc. it's just the first year that's really cheap
If I were a US Virgin Islands resident, I'd have already bought
http://moo.vi/
http://tee.vi/
Why big players like Netflix or Hulu haven't captured those, yet, is beyond my understanding. Those are great URLs.
>>51308354
But what does it matter if you need to pay for the second year 100 bucks or 30 bucks? It's expensive.
>>51307591
I got my lastname.xyz domain for like 1€ for the first year off namecheap (they had a sale on them a few months ago)
>>51308893
Ok but what about next year? Are you ok with paying 100E?
>>51308924
The original price was like 10€/year and I never check the automatic renew box
>>51308928
Do you honestly like .xyz?
>>51308935
I just got it because it was cheap. I haven't even put anything on it.
I got a .one for under 10 bucks, I think. Renewal is also cheap, so it was worth it.
xyz sounded too nerdy and com too common.

Would /g/ lose these tlds?
>.th .ega .me ...
>>51307944
I wonder what "use" means in this context. You know you can write literally anything in the form field and I really doubt that spammers use DKIM, but who knows.
>tl;dr you don't have to buy .su to spam from .su
>>51309968
They don't use DKIM.
