#193At least only TLD got broken with many new one.
Long lives . root domain.
Please, we don’t need / root domain.

Ugh, when I saw the HN headline about this TLD I thought it belonged to ING Group, just like .barclays and .chase belong to their corporate owners. Just shows how suited this TLD is for phishing...
Don't they sell .zip TLDs now too?
Yes, they do, huge mistake
...but a lot of fun!

Re: The .ing top-level domain
#197I checked for cod.ing and they said it was available. I got my hopes up and went to Godaddy. It costs over $38,000. I guess in some ways that’s good because the purchaser would more likely be someone who wants to launch a legit business or project rather than a squatter. But as others have pointed out, this whole thing is a blatant money grab.
It is worse than that - it costs $38,000 if you pre-register to buy it in December. It costs $1.3 Million if you want to snag it today. This is beyond a money grab.
Damn. I wanted to buy it today for $10 and sell it for $100,000. How dare they take that from me?

#199I’m quite appalled. Pre-order now! Wonderful new TLD! Buy!
But, it will cost an extra $1m if you want to do it now. Later than that, pay less but wait longer, and risk losing it.
So, pay up or get lost. Can’t afford $1m for a domain? Sorry, bozo, maybe you can have the scraps when the bullies are done eating.
This whole business is massive trash. The days of owning your own domain with any kind of nice name are fading and being replaced with “premium” domains with massive prices.
I very much would like domains to bugger off and be replaced by something that isn’t becoming another swamp on the Internet.
With that, most of the companies that can register .ing for you, listed on their website, will tell you that “.ing” does not exist. Clearly, Google didn’t tell them about launch or they aren’t ready.
This whole thing makes me sad. The Internet is dying and being replaced by literally anything for a quick buck. Now with added smoke and mirrors.
