The 5 worse nGTLDs, in your opinion?

[brandnow]

A list thread, just for fun, but also curiosity about different folks' honest opinions.

#1 .tires - gee, who needs a .tire domain?

#2 .website - what's gonna happen when .site comes out soon? Or .web next year?

#3 (tie) .ninja and .rocks - both equally awful to type and to explain. It was a bit funny to watch GoDaddy try to promote them a couple months back.

#4 green - well, especially because of the cost.. as someone pointed out in the other thread.. it should be a typo for .greed

#5 (tie) .plumbing, .international, .directory, etc. - all of the extremely long ones

#6 (bonus) .works - much more expensive and sketchy cousin of .work

Whoswho and Rich (both are equally useless but also expensive as all hell).

Horse/Fish/Fishing (Whiskey Tango Foxtrort to the lot of these)

Coach (if you squint real hard you can almost see it as a youth league sports domain)
Tires (Really?)
Rodeo (Why?)

I am sure there are more... but these are the ones that actually piss me off just by looking at them.

Cheers

Whoswho

Didn't realise that was even a real extension.

Embarrasing.

I still think the .wang is one of the worse. I wonder how many of these are domains that are NOT sex related!

.fail and .sucks are my least favourite in my own opinion out of all the new gTLDs. If a company used these domain extension it would look very un-professional. Who agrees with me.

Please like my post, if it made you laugh.

What about a domain for a vacuum maker called OurBestVacuum.sucks or OurVacuum.sucks ? Unprofessional, I would say so but it would definitely get attention.

Or maybe an inspirational website called YouWillNot.fail or Never.fail?

I forgot about whoswho lol. Seriously why didn't they just try for .whois instead? Would have been way better

huge.wang is taken

 

[ulterios]

huge.wang is taken

That's too bad, that would have been a nice brandable.

Maybe mylong.wang or bitemy.wang will be good domains and they ARE available. At least till one of the users on this site see this thread. LOL

Myself, I was hoping for wing.wang but sadly it is taken.

 

[brandnow]

chocolate.wang
vanilla.wang

 

[ulterios]

chocolate.wang
vanilla.wang

Both of those along with strawberry.wang wang are all taken. Someone must have a taste for ice cream domains with .wang as the extension.

They did miss neapolitan.wang and rockyroad.wang, they are still available.

For me, any that is longer than 3 letters is prety terrible.

.sucks deserves a special mention for their predatory (extortionist) business practices.

for me the cutoff is 4 letters.. and that's only for premium ones.. .club, .work, etc.

Don't forget .afamilycompany!

 

[starizec]

Don't forget .afamilycompany!

WTF is that?!?

You'll be happy to know:

 

[abdussamad]

.ninja is awesome. Lots of people are making fun sites with that extension. Example dirtcheap.ninja .

.xyz is probably the worst.

oh and .ooo
