Earlier quoted context omitted.

Have you thought about *.Family? That's what's we went with.

The problem with gTLDs is that there is no ceiling on the registration/renewal price for those domains. If a given gTLD takes off because, for example, someone writes a blog post about how great it is to just use it for your family's email addresses (great idea, by the way), the owners of the gTLD could quadruple the renewal price next year. Of course, some people spend tens, hundreds, or even thousands a year on dom…

Interesting point. Honestly, hadn't thought about that.

Given I'm all in on my .family address, and demand might drive up the price... I would like to revise my comments to say WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT BUY A .family ADDRESS!!!

Domain names are just bytes. Call me a romantic or a maniac, but DNs must be free. Period. That's why abandoned all of my domains and stopped paying for air. Moved to OpenNIC. But I don't run an enterprise though )

Pretty sad story about human nature: shows how much some people are selfish enough to sell with a 10000%+ markup something they never needed and that anyway would have stayed in the dust, rather than give it to someone who needs it. Same with shoes, salt, sugar, PS5, etc.

+1 My thoughts exactly.
