One of the biggest companies in the world uses abc.xyz, which is a domain hack. They have enough money to be able to choose almost any domain and they choose a cool domain hack

how is abc.xyz a hack? Is the name of the company abcxyz? Or is a hack any creative way to transliterate a word/brand/term?

It's Google, or "Alphabet" as the overall company is known so I guess it's a hack (?) as it represents the beginning and end of the alphabet. I suppose their other one would be a "pure" hack.
("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvw.xyz")

VapeShopsNear .me

That's the only hack I own... it's not very short, but 90.500 searches last month for "vape shops near me".

Of course I like (perfect*) domain hacks; they are supercool in my opinion.

*hack = dot between the 'spelling border' of the word/s.
If this is possible, then it is clearly the best way to use the own companyname.
Just perfect.


For example:
I am from Austria and one of the leading domain name registrars here is named EASYNAME.
They use EASY.NAME
That's a perfect domain hack in my eyes.


Other examples:
ACTION.WORLD (mine) or LAP.TOP / DESK.TOP (both not mine)

1) I like domain hacks which are pronounceable and pass radio test. You often see such hack sales..

Example:
Network => Net.Work => Pronounced "Net Dot Work"
Nightclub => Night.Club => Pronounced Night Dot Club

2) I am not a big fan and see end user confusion in other type of domain hacks like. They can be used for social media links and promotions but dont see mainstream usage.

Examples:
Designers => Designe.rs => Pronounced how ? Designe Dot RS
Delicious => Del.icio.us => they eventually changed name to delicious.com . had lot of leaking traffic and user confusion.

Just my 2 cents:
