Even gTLDs aren't entirely safe. .dev is iffy right now because only Google can give those out and Google domains is going away.

    .dev was stupid from the beginning due to how many local domains like that...

    Yeah I wasn't thrilled when I heard the news. I have one maybe two domains with Google and I'm going to be shipped off to somw third party for my renewal. I haven't checked but I'm pretty sure the domain business is being sold to one of those "build your website with us in half an hour" companies and I just cannot wait for the go-daddy like service...which I left go-daddy because of.

    I think they are selling to square space and I think their website builder is pretty damn good actually, but not sure if I'd want to buy a domain from them unless it's for a site hosted on squares space. I mean, they don't exactly specialice on selling domains, but then again not really did google eather so we'll see how the service will be I quess.
