Do you have ideas for TLDs? Here's some of mine, not sure if any of these exist already:

  • .plus
  • .now
  • .ent (short for enterprise)
  • .one
  • .er (for domain hacks, don't get any ideas)
  • .db
  • .source

.er .db

All two letter TLDs are exclusive to countries. So unless you make a country called Ergostan and Dbaseistan and get them internationally recognised you are out of luck. However, if you manage you don't have to pay the fee!

.er is already the country code for Eritrea

Damn, if colonies were still a thing, Italy would be the empire of domain hacks, with .it, .er and .so

Edit: before you think I'm pro-colonization, my post was just a historically accurate joke
