Do you have ideas for TLDs? Here's some of mine, not sure if any of these exist already:

  • .plus
  • .now
  • .ent (short for enterprise)
  • .one
  • .er (for domain hacks, don't get any ideas)
  • .db
  • .source

Unless the domain registry is going to research each and every applicant, you'll still have to guess. I own a .uk domain despite never having visited Ukraine United Kingdom.

Edit: not sure why I was confused about the .UK TLD, fixed.

    Care to explain? Anyone can buy any domain, and host anything they want on it. Domains don't guarantee anything.

    It wasn't serious. Just like .dot or .slop it's more a joke than a serious suggestion. You wouldn't seriously expect "AI" companies to dutifully buy .slop domains for their nonsense. Just like I wouldn't seriously expect right wing parties, companies that support them or are "apolitical" or "undecided" to buy .profa domains.
    But it would be lovely of them.
