With several Lemmy instances using the .ml TLD I’ve seen people mention others being risky as well. Which should be avoided?
minus-squareshnizmuffinAlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up47·2 年前Basically any 2-letter TLD should be avoided unless you live in that country. If you want to be clever, use subdomains and pick one of the new TLDs. For instance, ban.anal.ink, is like $5.

minus-squareSerinus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 年前Weird, because I’ve had an .xyz domain for years, and after the first year the price goes up.

Banana link or ban anal ink?

Banal link
You could also choose a 5-10 digit .xyz domain, those cost
$€0.85Except for the only one I’d want:
…Why?
abc.defghijklmnopqrstuvw.xyz
Can’t you do abcd.efghijklmnopqrstuvw.xyz?
Sure, but not symetric
How about zyx.wvutsrqponmlkjihgf.edcba.abcde.fghijklmnopqrstuvw.xyz
