Like peertube.com or peertube.tv or whatever. Something official and funded by the project itself that's intended to be the face of Peertube to newbie viewers. A main top level domain that's easy to remember which the project itself promotes.
There are a lot of peertube instances out there. This wouldn't be meant to supplant them, merely to offer a friendly place for newbies to check out what peertube offers. And perhaps a place to forward newbies who want an account to the right nearby server for them.
It's pretty confusing out there for the average joe / jane. Getting time to address that or Peertube won't scale on the human side.
Like the title says. I feel like I'm seeing a steady increase in domains that I expected to be .com top-level domains, but are instead .io as if .com is being replaced as the go-to TLD. It's especially weird to me, since .io is the TLD for the Indianic Ocean if I'm not mistaken.
Can anyone clue me in?
I've tried searching but can't see anything. My sub is getting lots of spam from the ".xyz" domain. I know how to remove "abc.xyz" but can I auto remove the entire xyz domain?
Sorry if this has been asked before. I keep hearing them say "our email is blah blah blah @ blah .soy" or .limo, or .ninja. What's up with these weird domain endings? I've never seen anything else with those.
Hi there, i'm looking to start a consultancy business. The problem is, I don't know what top level domain to build it on. I currently live in Australia, but I'm moving to Canada next year then likely ending up (back) in the UK in a few years. My understanding is that I'd rank better in local results if I had a local domain? For example, example.com.au would rank better than example.com in Australia? Or is this incorrect? My other question is if I begin to build up a strong organic presence on SERPS on google.com.au, would this be lost when I move to Canada and need to rank on google.ca? Thanks so much!
If so, how would I accomplish that? I already have my domain name.
As a dapp developer building something that will be used by more than just cryptocurrency enthusiasts, I want a TLD that should reflect the decentralization goals of the project, but is also accessible to people with a normal browser. Unstoppable Domains requires a special browser for example since they use their own DNS root. ".crypto" seems weird because "crypto" stands for cryptography, not cryptocurrency, and neither necessarily imply decentralized application. ".zil" or ".bit" don't work since they imply a specific blockchain that the app was built on. ".web3" seems to be the best option since it would educate end-users about the overall philosophical end-goals that we're trying to achieve as an industry and/or movement. It's not just about making decentralized things (in that case ".dapp" could work), it's about evolving the internet into it's next logical phase for the benefit of all humanity. The permissionless freedom dapps bring are what the internet was always destined to be from the start.
I'm sure many different project heads could get on board for this, and could come together to create a registrar infrastructure which interoperates with the currently centralized ICANN for the purpose of making sure ".web3" domains actually resolve in users' browsers, but makes the backend Registrar implementation open and decentralized so any blockchain project can use a ".web3" TLD and any DNS root alternative (Unstoppable, EmerDNS, Namecoin, etc.) can point to ".web3" themselves.
I know this is a lot to ask just so there can be a ".web3" in the url bar for my dapp's future users, but I think this stuff is important.
I'd love thought leaders from across the space across different projects to agree on this. It seems like something everyone could get on board with.
I would like to get a few custom Top Level Domains. I would like to get a .studios domain and also a .drop domain, but I don’t know where I can get these. If there is a way I can get these, then I’d love to know.
Thank you!
Edit: Even if it isn't technically a custom TLD, if there was a place that I could get a .studios and .drop domain, that would also be fine, thanks.
Here is an example of my issue, I am using the phishtank feeds which has(for example)the following on it's list to block;
https://www.instagram.com/unicard.us
http://www.instagram.com.login.s5df46ss21s.oficinasylocalesfiore.com/
https://www.instagram.com/pop_credicard_
However, it's not only blocking the full url but also www.instagram.com itself.
Does anyone know how to stop it from doing that?
The only thing I could think of is to enable "TOP1M whitelist" on the DNSBL group but no change. I have search everywhere to find a configuration setting guide to help but nothing.
Help! thanks
Hello friends!
I'm creating a subdomain where I can host client "portals" with an overview of timelines, contract info maybe, links to assets, staging sites, that sort of thing. So the structure will be essentially this:
clients.mydomain.com/client-name/
I'm wondering what to do about the top level page for this subdomain:
That page isn't associated with any client. I'm thinking the whole subdomain won't be search-indexed, and the subdirectories would be password protected. I'm just wondering if anyone has done something similar? Should I just redirect this page to my homepage? Testimonials? Or have some special content? I don't want to miss an opportunity to do something cool with it, but maybe I'm overthinking it.
I welcome any input you might have.
Thanks!
Hi, I’d like to get a super cheap domain, most seem to be available for reasonable prices but then the price ramps up considerably after the first year.
Is there anyway to see the cheapest top level domains please? I don’t want to have a tough decision to make this time next year. Thank you :)
I learned about this in reddit that there is TLD with a public website but i can't remember what TLD was it.
Hey.
I recently came across a very weird issue and wanted to hear your thoughts about it. One high volume keyword "magento support" (CPC is around 20USD there) where hundreds or even thousands of companies competed on it just got screwed by google. Now it only shows links from magento.com and no other site. So all Magento partner agencies, including mine, are left outside and don't get organic traffic from that keyword. It happened 2 or 3 days ago and wanted to hear your opinion on that.
On the end of second page it shows this:
In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries. If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included.
When that link is clicked, all competition is back there.
Anyone has any idea if this is just a test or this will be there for good? Has anyone encountered anything similar with their keywords?
Cheers
In general, for spam control of an email box, you have two options: stopping it at the mail source (i.e., the sender), and stopping it at the mail destination (i.e., your inbox).
Over the years, I've steadily gravitated toward the latter, since stopping it at the source is intensely frustrating, due to the variety of "unsubscribe" mechanisms (one-click unsubscribe, "input your email address," "login to your account to change your subscription preferences," etc.) And, of course, many spammers don't offer an unsubscribe options (or they do, but it doesn't actually unsubscribe your address when you submit it).
By contrast, if you have a set process for blacklisting mail from a particular sender, you can use that exact same process with every spammer. Filters are simple, quick, centrally managed, and guaranteed to work for that spammer.
Recently, I've started receiving loads of spam from .click and .link domains. Every time I check my mailbox, I've got two or three more - often multiple copies of the same message sent to the same address. Also, they're not only from different senders (alice@spammer.click and bob@spammer.click), but also different domains (alice@spammer1.click and bob@spammer2.click).
It's clear that the .click and .link top-level domains are havens of spam. So, I've blacklisted them - i.e., the entire top-level domain. To my pleasant surprise, Gmail will allow you to create a filter by top-level domain. So as of this morning, email from both TLDs will never again reach my inbox.
To create this type of filter in Gmail:
-
Open Gmail. Click on the "gear" icon at the top right, and select Settings.
-
Select the "Filters" tab, and then click on the link reading: "Create a new filter."
-
In the new pop-up window, enter the following (without quotes) in the "From" box: "*.click OR *.link" ... then select the "Create Filter With This Search" link. On the next page, select the "Delete it" option, and then click the "Create Filter" button.
Done. You'll never see anything from .click or .link again.
(edit) Of course, this technique can be expanded to other TLDs as well - and there are many! Rather than blacklisting all of them off the bat, it'll be better to blacklist those that start emailing frequently. The next target on my list is the .guru TLD.
TLDR: I (live in the UK) placed a bid to buy a top-level domain name from a company from Austria. The offer got countered by them with a much much higher amount than I was willing to pay. I assumed that was the end of it. After a couple of weeks, out of the blue, they accepted my previous bid, at which point I no longer needed or wanted to purchase the domain.
Longer explanation:
A couple months back I was for a top-level domain (e.g. www.example.com) and I found one that seemed pretty good.
The domain was owned by a domain reseller based in Austria (I live in the UK). They had a bid system on their website where you put in your details and bid an amount.
I placed a bid of 200 EUR and got a counteroffer of >10000 EUR. Since I was not willing to pay nearly that much money for it, I shrugged it off and assumed that was the end of it.
A couple of days later they followed up with a lower offer. And then a couple of day later an even lower one. This pattern continued for several days (at this point their offer was down to about 7000 EUR or so).
I countered their asking price with a 1000 EUR bid (pretty much as high as I was willing to go), to which they counter offered a 6500 EUR. I made my peace that there was not going to be any way I could get the domain for anything remotely close to what I could pay, and I moved on.
They kept sending lower and lower counteroffers every other day (I think the lowest it got was about 3500 EUR).
This all happened over the course of a month, while I was still actively looking for a top-level domain. Since it seemed pretty clear that I was not going to be able to get that domain for a reasonable price, I kept looking and found a different one that I ended up buying.
Now, out of the blue, they sent an email informing me that they have accepted my 1000 EUR bid, and now they are harassing me to pay them for the domain (even sending me physical mail), and threatening me with legal action if I don’t pay up.
I no longer had the intention to buy that domain, nor do I still have a need for it.
I should mentioned that I've never been given the option to "opt out" or cancel the offer, nor was I ever in contact with anyone from their company. Completely blanked all their messages, emails, and phone calls.
QUESTION:
Should I be worried about any legal repercussions? Should I talk to an attorney? Or is this just classic pushy tactics to scare people into paying?
Thank you very much!
Say I have dropship2u.com how important is it to have @dropship2u.com email addresses on the support page or as the PayPal receieving address? Assuming it costs about $5 a month in effort or gsuite costs, is it always worth it? $5 a month adds up with lots of sites, when dropship2u@gmail.com would work, and I could host my own email servers but $5 is a small price to not even have to think about that. I don’t even like the email built into PHP.
I'm currently working on my personal website/portfolio, and I'm wondering which is the best top-level domain for such a website. With "best" I mean the most professional-looking and appropriate.Note that if it was for me I'd go with the classic [surname].com, but unfortunately it's already taken. Most domain registrars offer lots of options apart from .com, such as .design, .works etc.
To your knowledge, is a new top level generic domain such as .design often considered less professional compared to the common .com?
