What's your dream domain name?

Personally, I really really really want to own http://up.dog/ but it's already taken (and not even used, what a waste!)

There was some talk awhile back about openning up the TLDs to allow things like "dot"

I would love http://dot.dot/

Not my bag, but I reckon hent.ai would be a popular niche.

It covers both Hentai and AI fans! I'm scared of Elon Musk buying it and using it for himself.

I won't say it publicly or someone will take it! But I don't like this pay to win domain system we have now anyway

I got my (uncommon but not rare) surname and country code, similar to for example smith.uk, so I can have an email address like (but not exactly) john@smith.uk. That’s good enough for me.

My surname ends the letters ai, I'm tempted to get my surname as a domain to do exactly what you did, but .ai domains are so expensive...

I got the .net and .org of my last name, and offered $50 to the owner of the .com as he wasn't doing anything with it. Kind of a lowball, admittedly, but I would've gone up to a hundred or two. Instead, he told me it was worth thousands, which, lol, but then he didn't renew it, which I only found out because a random third person reached out to me as the owner of the .net offering me the .com. Turns out they hadn't actually bought it yet, though, so instead I scooped it up and now I've got the trifecta!

I would like to do this with .com but has been held for several years so went with a newer TLD. It's mostly been fine aside from occasional person whose mail provider sends me to spam or the very few who block me outright.

fb.com. I bet I could make a fortune selling that domain to Facebook.

I hate to break this to you but they've had it for decades. fb.com rewrites to facebook.com

Yeah, but I want it.

I think you'd loose ownership over the domain because you own it explicitly to take it hostage before facebook.
And because they have a trademark I think they could seize it.
Probably except if you have something like the matching initials or other reasons for why you'd have a right to it.

But I don't know if that is true.

Make up a name and host a small browser game. Like the Fable Beagles Game. Problem solved
