Value of Domain Hacks

[xman]

Here's my question..what is the value of domain hack? I've seen some good domain hack and i was wondering about the value of it. I myself own one and i'm not sure whether or not i should get more. I haven't seen any sale of domain hack. Why do we register domain hack? Is it because the domain looks cool or because there's a potential end user who's willing to buy such domain?

Sorry, can you clarify further? Are you suggesting that .de .no .it extensions are likely to run into issues after registration? If so, what types of issues could occur? Also, which extensions would you recommend to domain hackers in addition to .ge?

I'm saying the opposite: European extentions may be perceived as more safe to invest, comparing to the extentions from the emerging or 3rd world countries.

As for .ge, I still have to personally check every Wiki article or knowledge base page about this extention, as there is a lot of outdated info. This may cause wrong perception of .ge as an interesting cctld to invest.

Thanks for the reply. I see. However, what can they really do to your domain if you've already been approved to register it? As long as you don't break any of the TOS, it's legally yours. I think it's more of an issue with purchasing it in the first place. Not all of the popular registrars offer 3rd world country extensions. Also, the process takes much longer, sometimes up to a week to get it approved while generic and popular extensions are almost instant.

Anything can happen in countries where anything can happen

I'm not saying it happens every day, but in totalitarian regimes, they can easily take back domain name, without detailed explanation.

Yes, I own quite a few!

Interesting to see some examples

Btw, one amateurish question: if you can register punycode in any extention, what does it it mean when you say some extention "supports emojis for registration"?

As a holder of more than 2000 IDNs in many languages, I would like to answer this question.

Punycodes are the ASCII formats of the multi-lingual names. Not every extension supports IDNs. Similar to multi-lingual domains, emojis are represented by ASCII punycode form for naming resolution.

Although they come under IDNs, not every emoji displays correctly in the web browser due to lack of browser support. On the other hand, multi-lingual, language specific IDNs display well in most of the modern browsers.

For example,

München.de is a german IDN and it displays well in most of the browsers because this is a language specific IDN.

Punycodes are mapped well with all existing language tables. That's why language specific IDNs display well in modern browsers.

.com is an Emoji IDN (Face with a mask), but it doesn't exist at all due to the fact that the punycode (xn--y38h) mapping for this new emoji has not yet been implemented. Another reason is, emojis are not predefined like lingual alphabets and they are created & updated very often, which makes the mapping of punycodes with the corresponding emojis a tedious process.

WS / TO / FM / Freenom (ML CQ TK) all allow emoji domains, as well as GE.

Do you know any extention that is not allowing emoji domains / punycodes?

Looks like the domain hack sho.es which once sold for $11,000, dropped and was caught by Catched.com

SHO.ES last sold for $3,150 on 2020-07-31 at Catched.com

Thanks, I understand the basic logic behind IDNs and punycodes. What is missing for me - what does it mean when some ccTLD doesn't support emoji registration? In other words - how should they support it, if emoji registration just means to register the corresponding punycode?

Does that mean that if I register some xn--12345.ru it will not work? Or it is even prohibited to register?
