I hope to never visit a website that ends in .ninja

It makes me sad that they are allowing these 'trendy' words to become permanent tlds. Will people in 50 years still be interested in .ninja domains?

I think it'll be good to break out of the polluted and meaningless .com namespace.

I think ccTLDs and the common TLDs work now more as signaling "this is a website" than as namespaces. When I read bounce.com I know it's a website, bounce.ninja not so much. We'll have to go back to 1999 when people didn't know about the web and you had to write http:// everywhere.

Is the whole 'ninja' trend even still a thing outside of a few random web design shops?

wvenable• 12 years ago

Meh. All the good host names are already taken.

chrisdevereux• 12 years ago

Sounds perfect for my new unsecured lending startup idea...

spacefight2• 12 years ago

I look forward to the day we wake up and regret introducing new and absurd TLDs. ICANN is run by a bunch of lobbyists, obviously.

Dammit, I see ninja.ninja has gone. I was hoping to have ninja@ninja.ninja as my email address.

If I'm not mistaken tld.tld is forbidden anyway.

Roedou• 12 years ago

I've just looked up a few, and they all resolve. Any examples of TLDs where tld.tld is forbidden?

9ja is still available

Anyone notice the nice Google analytics tracking params within the URL? Tailored to HN...

kolemcrae• 12 years ago

Yes. Is this a problem? They posted something they offer and people think it's interesting enough to discuss...

thenmar2• 12 years ago

Nice find. The account is an hour old, and is named after a meme referring to government incompetence/absurdity. I wonder how long they brainstormed that.

micampe2• 12 years ago

is an interesting link not interesting anymore if you add a tracking bug?

drzaiusapelord• 12 years ago

I imagine this will be successful as .biz domains, which as far as I can tell are home to spammy and illegitimate businesses unable to think of an original .com name.

uniclaude• 12 years ago

I thought, let's have a look, maybe register a domain and host some joke tumblog on this.

Here was the search result: "javascript.ninja is AVAILABLE - $937 per year".

Well, I guess I'll pass on grandmastership for the time being.

steanne• 12 years ago

shouldn't any attempt to visit a .ninja site end with a 404 anyway?

snickn• 12 years ago

why regulate so heavily what's to the right of the dot? Isn't the right path to be open?
