- PartiallyTyped 2y agoI thought .com was for "commercial".
- dsr_ 2y ago.com is for .com. You can interpret it any way you'd like and it doesn't make a difference to anyone who isn't currently interested in the history of DNS. My preferred reading is .com for commonlymisinterpretedbypeoplewhodonotreadrfcsbutitdoesnotmatterintheslightest, which is a Welsh word meaning "oddly shaped sheep".
- 8organicbits 2y agoIsn't that proposed in RFC 920? > Commercial, any commercial related domains meeting the second level requirements. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc920#page-2 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc920#page-2
- TheRealPomax 2y ago.com is literally the opposite of a "reserved to never be used" word though?
- saghm 2y agoI'm not sure how that leads to the conclusion that other short, convenient TLDs like `.dev` should just be given to companies like Google to use very sparingly, if at all. EDIT: Looks like I misunderstood what Google having .dev meant in the above discussion; domains using it are available to purchase through their registrar (or more precisely resellers since I guess they don't sell directly anymore)
