Apparently, they’ve been available since 2014.
Who is selling this, like who owns .something’s? Can anyone just set up their own?
Currently, to start a new top level domain, you apply to ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, pay a fee of something like $185,000, and then become the registrar for that TLD.
I can’t believe it, primus.sucks isn’t an active site?
Probably cause it costs at minimum like 200$ to get the domain
You are right, there is no way Primus could afford that.
As in the transformer god?
It costs like 200$, like it is extremely ridiculously overpriced.
javascript.sucks costs 2 grand for a year lol
There are some wild ones out there. I got a .wtf domain a while back. I regret nothing.
wtf/
I’ve got one .ninja domain.
@TheOneWithTheHair that is one of the amazing ideas concerning the new gTLDs program by ICANN. I wonder what was the original idea behind it…
There was some intense controversy behind it, same thing with .exposed (for obvious reasons). It’s shitty because it’s extremely overpriced, like 200$ or so for a year of registration. The company behind is quite scummy and advertises it to companies to buy it for PR purposes, so some buy it and redirect to their feedback page.
The original idea was $$$
inb4 someone makes reddit.sucks redirect to reddit
-

reddit.sucks that redirects to one of the top 20 lemmy instances randomly (excluding bad instances)
you guys know that .sucks is selling shovels, hard, right? you’re not actually this stupid, are you?
What do you mean by that?
oh god we really are this stupid
who gets rich during a gold rush? these annoying cunts have found yet another way to profiteer off ur hate
Aw man, that’s kinda mean. But I sort of get where you’re coming from. A company owns exclusive rights to the .sucks TLD, so I guess in a way they’re profiting off of hatred. I just don’t really think it’s that big of a deal. Like, if I’m angry at something I’m not gonna buy a domain for it… Especially since these are so expensive. Barely anyone buys domains. Seems like it’s more tailored to marketing campaigns than anything.
