.xyz remains a favorite among Web3 and blockchain communities for its flexibility and modern vibe.
.store and .shop are climbing thanks to the rise in direct-to-consumer brands and online retail.
Creative TLDs like .art, .studio, and .design are gaining traction with niche audiences.
I have recently considered some other TLDs as not finding much in .coms, though I need to be selling not buying. I've tried to stay strictly with .coms but recently my provider has forced LOL. They had a sale where I got the .com .info and .online for $8. I managed to sell MOST of the alternative ones off at 1.5 per, making my .com costs me $5. At the time .coms werent on sale an they were 10 and even my math knows $8 is better than 10 on the out going section.
