.gg goes for $75 on Gandi, compared to $150 on iwantmyname
Still, $75 is a lot for another vanity domain I don't need and probably won't use.
A bit off-topic, but I'd like to know what HN thinks about a short domain I've chosen for an upcoming product. I'm building a platform which lets people create and host simple apps. It's kind of a collaborative app development thing, so you build on what's already there and let others use what you've made. The project is called "Fora", and I bought the domain www.4ah.org. I like the brevity, but does it look like a s…
www.thisisfora.com might be more straight forward than using a cryptic .org domain.
- Most TLDs on this list are way to expensive—everything above €50 for a side-project or some domain parking is too much, it's only worth if it's a killer domain; so what I want to say: if you give me a nonsense two-letter domain for a normal .com price like 7€/year, yes I would take all from the list, but for €50 or even above €100 I want something really nice
- Even if you find your initials (I found mine), with the prices it's nonsense: you will keep a domain with your initials quite some time and maybe you get locked in because you want to use it for you mail-address and then pay 50-100€ for an odd TLD nobody knows
- The only ones which have reasonable prices are .gs, .lc and .gy with €39 and .io with around €50 which is for my taste still too much (again: for a nonsense two letter domain); however I did a search in the Unix' words file if there is even under the cheap TLDs any good and meaningful ones which would justify €39a month

Maybe there are some good words in your local language (I found one) but again the prices are ridiculous and make only sense if you know that the project you will use the domain for will get serious business in some way.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Here is the price list: .AF $125.00 USD .AG $119.00 USD .CX $49.00 USD .FM $99.00 USD .GD $49.00 USD .GL $89.00 USD .GS $49.00 USD .GY $50.00 USD .HT $129.00 USD .IO $99.00 USD .MS $49.00 USD .MU $99.00 USD .PE $99.00 USD .TC $49.00 USD .TL $79.00 USD .VG $49.00 USD https://iwantmyname.com/short-domain-search
I don't know about the others, but you definitely don't need to spend $99 for a(n) .io.
This list looks very tempting and who is not dreaming of a 2-letter-domain? But there are two gripes and I think there is no domain on that list which you should get.

I think anything .com is much more memorable for 95%+ of the population.
A short domain with an unknown or hard to type TLD is not really wanted. And the only TLD on that page which is 1) well known, 2) very well to type and 3) treated as a generic TLD from Google (important for SEO) is .io
Thank you! I just found and purchased a perfect domain for an idea I've had for a while. For some reason, most of my projects start with a domain. I can't write code until I have a git repo. Can't make a repo until I have a directory. And I can't make the directory until I have a name. Which, of course, requires a domain name first...
