Anyone registering these other than godaddy?

JulianMontez• 18 years ago

A friend suggested Dynadot. They accept Paypal, which makes it easier to not bother my parents (I'm 15-years-old).

silencio• 18 years ago

Holy cow, THANK you for the suggestion. Godaddy was taking upwards of 10 minutes to load a single page!

parenthesis2• 18 years ago

Just bought one from Dynadot. Seems to have worked fine.

Jem4• 18 years ago

Namecheap seem to be offering them too.

Jem4• 18 years ago

The site is incredibly slow. I can only assume a lot of people want .me domains...

markovich2• 18 years ago

Terribly slow. I've been waiting for 10 minutes for the payment page to appear...

Jem4• 18 years ago

It took mine about 20-25 minutes to process. Now theoretically the owner of jem.me though.

To find words that end in "me," try: egrep "^.{3,3}me$" /usr/share/dict/words

The 3,3 means 3 characters minimum (anything less is invalid) and 3 maximum. So increase that second number to get more words.

PieSquared• 18 years ago

Removing the second 3 gives more interesting words. Symdro.me, mada.me, quickli.me. (Could me made into quickly.me)

Hmm, to get one of these, or to wait until they open up the TLDs?

vaksel2• 18 years ago

I got 10 - 3 letter domains and 4 - 4 letter ones. Got the email confirmation, but not in the control panel yet

mk2• 18 years ago

I received confirmation letters, but have now just received a letter saying:

The following domain name has failed to be registered:

PRI.ME

Error: PRI.ME: cannot register - already registered

We will evaluate this error and retry the registration if appropriate.

CURSES!

vaksel2• 18 years ago

yeah out of those only 1 went through.

After that I tried like 6 times to register, and out of like 70 domains I "got" only 5 went through. I did get a hold placed on my credit card because of suspicious activity because of this.

ivank• 18 years ago

Any word on which registrar "tasted" pretty much all .me domains? WHOIS info isn't up yet.

mrtron3• 18 years ago

I just got emails for all the domains I tried to register claiming they are taken.

I really doubt they are - is everyone getting this?

dandelany2• 18 years ago

Cool... I got SCHE.ME

Hopefully it actually went through!

dandelany2• 18 years ago

Nooooo.....

The following domain name has failed to be registered:

SCHE.ME

Error: SCHE.ME: cannot register - already registered

mrtron3• 18 years ago

I think GoDaddy is sending those out for every domain...

I even got it for a really random/unpopular one.

mk2• 18 years ago

who got sche.me ?

parenthesis2• 18 years ago

Has anyone ever made much money selling on domain names? (edit: anyone here, I mean)

imp• 18 years ago

I was looking for football-related names and saw that this site is already live. Not what I expected though: http://www.tackle.me/

alex_c• 18 years ago

Got CLUTTER.ME, I'm happy :)

Also got another 11 three-letters, and one four-letter. Looks like the frenzy has died down by now, godaddy is slow but all my domains processed right away.

One annoying thing is godaddy stopped accepting coupons for .me domains halfway through... so I didn't get any discounts for the last few. Ah well.

Prrometheus• 18 years ago

Darn, "help.me" is already taken. Should have read Hacker News before I went to bed last night!
