debate How rare is your domain?

how rare is your domain?

I always thought, that my domain
lotta.org was more rare .....

 

[NickB]

Every domain is rare - they are one of a kind after all

 

[SuperBrander]

I own Rarer.com so I think it's definitely rarer than other domains...

 

[lock]

Rare as the more letter combinations and length add to rarity it will never be found again.

 

[CraigD]

I don't know about anyone else, but all of my domains are 'rare as hens teeth' one-of-a-kind

 

[Bob Hawkes]

Good point!

However, I see that someone, not me, is currently selling rarest in .com, which is surely more rare than rarer!

But would the most rare be rarest in the TLD with fewest registrations? The word rarest is registered in 20 TLDs but I did not delve into which TLD rarest.

Would single letter .coms be the rarest? Or is there a rarer category?

Single number dot coms - there are only ten of them

 

[NickB]

Single number dot coms - there are only ten of them

But only a few single .coms are available or in use

Edit - cant remember how many, but Less than 10

Yeah I just tried a few and nothing. I imagine they were reserved for something at the outset.
Anyone?

[CraigD]

Probably reserved by ARPANET or something

guys
in case your are not aware:

domains were created
because they are unique

there is no way to make that more unique

not even a little bit

Agree each domain is unique, might of gone off topic with which category is the rarest....sorry about that

 

[CraigD]

Sorry Frank.
Back on track

If we could just make this thread about 'Me' again I would argue that the following is rare...

mememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememe.me

There are not many longer domain names that can contain the word 'Me' in either the domain name or the extension so if I decide to keep this domain forever no amount of money can buy a domain name that contains more words containing the word 'Me'.

Is it a good name? You decide. Is it rare? Absolutely.

 

[CraigD]

Oh F*ck

ICANN .com Registry Agreement Appendix 6 Schedule of Reserved Names (1 December 2012) reserves at the second level all single-character labels. The handful in the wild get a pass.

I think .arpa domains are pretty rare. Also .int. Not sure which ones are rarer.

 

[Wesley S]
