Nice .art os on the league of its own.. fantastic tld

It's certainly interesting that two of the photos already posted here for alt domains were "would-be" potential buyers of my domains. The .UK sales market has definitely become extremely diluted, what with so many new and bizarre TLD's flooding on to the scene, buyers have become very savvy - a harbinger of things to come perhaps!

It's a tale as old as time. Startup has a domain budget of £20 because as we all know its just a web address and that has no impact on the business whatsoever and then a year or two in... oh wait! maybe it has a huge impact on the business? Better spend some money on a credible .co.uk or .com!

Jokes aside I think it's inevitable new businesses start to broaden their domain search to other TLDs as the scarcity and therefore price of premium domains go up. I don't think it will ultimately have a negative effect on the traditionally popular TLDs as there will always be somebody looking to upgrade.

Time will tell I guess.

Hard to see (hard to take pictures on the move) but for every one of these .Co I see there's hundreds of .co.uk and .com.

Someone should explain to the company that this is a Columbian tld and not really a .com alternative as falsy advertised by some domainers.. more opportunities for the .co.uk and .uk name holder. .. just checked > .com is for sale at hugedomains for $3795

It's fine as an alternative, doesn't impact in search engines https://www.seroundtable.com/google-cctld-generics-16729.html

interesting.. had heard of this list (recently .ai was included there), though never knew large country like Colombia with a very decent size economy is there as well... really curious if this is still the case 11 years later (the article is very old).

.. interesting.. tx

@RB5 check it out: https://www.seroundtable.com/google-removes-cctlds-generic-tlds-25539.html .. huhh.. Google ..

The full list (probably up-to-date) is at: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/specialty/international/managing-multi-regional-sites

In a very on topic observation, I saw one of this company's van this morning with the .co.uk domain on it! Not sure if they have a London wing or if they upgraded.

Using the .ac as air con

cheers for the jolly people of St Helena

These guys are all in!
What, if any are the benefits of having a separate domain for your email? Trying to upstand the thinking here.

I actually like the approach

Emails quite often are spelled out over phone - this shorter does eliminate lots of mistypes + saves time. Website urls quite often are found using Google and their website url/domain clearly describes who they are and what they do for users. Nice

Very good points you make. Way less chance of email leakage.

Think I'll stop posting .Londons as it appears they aren't that rare.
