Anyone know of English words that we can use to make a 'domain hack'[0] out of this? [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_hack
I remember using it on IRC once in a while when trying to make a longer, multi sentence point and people kept interrupting me.
So maybe a domain like, whydontyou.su would work. Or, for the more frequent speaker: whyinever.su :)
I hope we keep it. It matches the maps I have from 7th grade.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Probably one of the corporate ones like .xyz, .amazon, .bananarepublic, etc.
I believe anyone can register the .xyz domains. They're typically on sale for $0.99 on GoDaddy for the first year, so there seems to be a lot of junk, volume registrations using it.
I wonder what happens to .co.uk if the UK dissolves, which seems more possible than it should be after Brexit?
If Scotland leaves, I imagine we'll switch from "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" to "The United Kingdom of Britain and Northern Ireland", thus keeping the "uk". ".scot" already exists. If Northern Ireland leaves, I guess the UK no longer exists, and we switch to ".gb". Could clone .uk at .gb for a while (ten years?) and give people time to switch, but seems more likely Nominet would prefer t…

Wales is part of the Kingdom of England, under the "Laws in Wales Acts 1535 and 1542" [3].
Without Scotland, it becomes the United Kingdom of England and Northern Ireland, leaving the Kingdom of Scotland. Scotland would be assigned an ISO 3166 code. SC, SO, ST, SL, SA, SN and SD are all taken. Perhaps they can have "AB" for "Alba". The "GB" code would be unassigned.
Without Ireland, it becomes the United Kingdom of Great Britain. Northern Ireland presumably joins the Republic of Ireland in this case.
Without both, it becomes the Kingdom of England, the Kingdom of Scotland, etc. England would then need an ISO code, "EN" is available.

It is taken, but not by Bing.
If anyone is interested, registering a domain is $29.99/year and requires the submission of an identity document (passport, driver's license, etc).
Curious to know, but where can I buy one, and what registrars offer .su? Seems entirely absent in my usual haunt where I go to get obscure TLDs: https://www.ovh.co.uk/domains/prices/ There is however the following you can get on OVH which are similar: .sucks .supplies .supply .support .surgery
