.co Domain Extension
Hey Everyone,
I don’t consider myself a genius when it comes to the process of purchasing domains and the entire handling of websites and such (if you talk servers, python, and other things I’ll just ask for a CMS), but haven’t we all seen this kind of process before?
I bought your website domain, nude.
Every couple of years we get another top level domain extension added to the registrar where you can register your long awaited, unique domain name to a less-than-the-infinitely-better-in-every-way .com extension since a bunch of schmucks all over the Internet with an average weight of 300 lbs. all purchased them long ago in 1996. There’s a whole slue “top level domains” out there for the GoDaddy power user:
- .coop – for the websites that don’t do single player.
- .tel – the extension for the nonexistent, long-since deleted word for “telephone”.
- .gg – the domain for internet websites with good sportsmanship tendencies.
- .arpa – the evil, malicious domain twin of the .sherpa domains.
- .museum – for the stupid intellectual who decided to throw as many syllables as possible into a domain. Oh yeah, and help museums.
But that doesn’t really matter because the process remains the same. Come out with a new domain, auction off the really awesome ones, then leave the rest of them to be picked up by the same 300 lbs people as some kind of Internet investment (people, Zecco is right around the corner if you want to do investments, ffs.). Then within a few months, everyone realizes how idiotic it is to have anything but a .com, tries to resell their “investments” that they paid a premium for through hyping, then the Internet quietly awaits domain transfers of .com’s again.
Seriously, the only domains that should be considered are .com, .org, and only if super duper necessary, .net. Otherwise, if I visit a site that has any other extension, I’m gettin’ out of there.
Thanks for visiting this blog! If you look hard enough through it, I swear there's cookies. =]
