showcase THAT’S ONE “HACK” OF A DOMAIN!

[MAINNET]

Simply put, hacked domains are cool. Yeah, they don’t meet the criteria some domainers/investors have as it relates to readability and the radio-test; but they’re appealing nonetheless. At least to some.

If you think about it, hacked domains are the closest thing to owning a TLD in the centralized domain space. Imagine if there was a centralized “.om” extension. “c.om” would have immense value and appeal. It would be the proverbial “king of the king” in a sense.

It’s something about a hacked domain that screams creativity and breaks away from the status-quo of naming. Be it for branding, or simply because you can, domain hacks are a cool option when you can snag one.

What cool domain hacks have you come across or do you hold? On this end, they’re “Aristocr.at” and “UAEDub.ai”. Drop your creative domain hacks/views below.

Not hacks per se but talking of IDNs, I have two very "wealthy" 1L IDN names, if and when, the relevant Indian language keyboards or Google input tools are used popularly.

My short name "Sri" means wealth in Indian languages as well as in other cultures in South & Southeast Asia.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri)

It is represented by a single character as below.
శ్రీ in Telugu language (punycode: xn--rpcl5a0c)
श्री in Hindi language (punycode: xn--t2bl5a0c)

I have both of them in .COM, and they redirect to Sri . jewelry mentioned in my earlier post.

BTW, punycode of ₿ is xn--4zg.

Aristocr.at is super dope. I have "antisoci.al", "donotclickon.me", and "donotreply.me"

“ Antisoci.al “. Love it!

 

[MadAboutDomains]

“ Antisoci.al “. Love it!

Would be nice for a social network

This but unironically. If I had anti.social, I would definitely build on that.

“ Antisoci.al “. Love it!

Love you too

StØp.com

Actually St0p.com
I like the zero with a line through it to create the "stop" symbolism. A stretch, but I like it.

I like youtu.be

Absolutely! The break in the domain suggests “a disconnect and then a better reconnect”. Hence, “ antisoci.al “ being great for a new, and improved, type of social media platform. Genius!

I like youtu.be

This one is classic. The fact YouTube owns, and uses, it makes a strong case for why hacked domains deserve more credit than what some domainers give them.

Awesome name! This would be a great domain for a GE (General Electric) brand/endeavor. What a score!

Come on now! We LOVE it. We have a deep appreciation for languages and special characters. Even if it means this post will be downvoted by the majority who don’t.

IDNs can count as hacks also. Especially considering many go into the address bar and redirect to websites just like their non-IDN counterparts. Try typing in rouletté.com.

We hold a few hacked IDNs like rouletté.com, vöice.com (Recognize how the letter with the umlaut resembles a “speaking face” in the word voice.) abć.xyz and gôld.com (As in the price and value of gold is going up.)

Nice names! We’re here for the love of language and digital identity! Thanks for sharing!

No, we totally understand. We were simply suggesting GE would benefit from having a brand called Collage that uses the domain colla.ge. After all, they are GE and the domain is awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Crosscha.in

Bingo! This screams the perfect domain for a blockchain company or endeavor. One headquartered in India perhaps?

Take-off time! This is an airline’s secret weapon! Especially with the travelers who favor emoticons and acronyms. Grand-slam name!
