minus-squareOtter@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up32·9 months agoI don’t think that’s a valid TLD though. You’d need to pick from one of those: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/tlds-2012-02-25-en

minus-squarebamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·9 months ago.ck is a valid TLD, but apparently you can only get second-level domain names. If that weren’t the case, you could get queer.asfu.ck

minus-squarepivot_root@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·9 months agoIt might be hard to register a business named “Nice” in 2024 since it’s a really generic word. Instead, try: MyHuge — A workout supplement company. BigFat — Weight management coaching company. The Blackest — A company specializing in black inks and paints. PlayWithMy — Goods exchange company focused on trading video games and toys. Please Suck — Vacuum manufacturer.

Fair enough lol.
