showcase THAT’S ONE “HACK” OF A DOMAIN!

[QUAD DOMAINS]

Simply put, hacked domains are cool. Yeah, they don’t meet the criteria some domainers/investors have as it relates to readability and the radio-test; but they’re appealing nonetheless. At least to some.

If you think about it, hacked domains are the closest thing to owning a TLD in the centralized domain space. Imagine if there was a centralized “.om” extension. “c.om” would have immense value and appeal. It would be the proverbial “king of the king” in a sense.

It’s something about a hacked domain that screams creativity and breaks away from the status-quo of naming. Be it for branding, or simply because you can, domain hacks are a cool option when you can snag one.

What cool domain hacks have you come across or do you hold? On this end, they’re “Aristocr.at” and “UAEDub.ai”. Drop your creative domain hacks/views below.

free.tax, not sure if this count as domain hack, I sold this for 3K via outbound few years ago.

Nice name and sale! “Free Tax” is “Tax free”. Gotta love it! Thanks for sharing.

Come on now! We LOVE it. We have a deep appreciation for languages and special characters. Even if it means this post will be downvoted by the majority who don’t.

IDNs can count as hacks also. Especially considering many go into the address bar and redirect to websites just like their non-IDN counterparts. Try typing in rouletté.com.

We hold a few hacked IDNs like rouletté.com, vöice.com (Recognize how the letter with the umlaut resembles a “speaking face” in the word voice.) abć.xyz and gôld.com (As in the price and value of gold is going up.)

Nice names! We’re here for the love of language and digital identity! Thanks for sharing!

How is it off the market forever?

chat.com was just purchased for millions of dollars by the founder of HubSpot. He's never going to sell it.

Hi

what most think are hacks, are just crap.

imo...

Noted. Thank you for chiming in.

 

[Bohdan]

Awesome name! This would be a great domain for a GE (General Electric) brand/endeavor. What a score!

No, it is Collage

Airfa.re

Take-off time! This is an airline’s secret weapon! Especially with the travelers who favor emoticons and acronyms. Grand-slam name!

 

[QUAD DOMAINS]

my two favorites of mine are steel dot horse (motorcycle) and pizza dot salon (self explanatory). ty.

🏍 Nice! A company like Harley Davidson might have a use for steel.horse! Reads like a brand of mini-motorcycles for children. Rocking horses were so yesterday. Get you a steel horse! Kudos and thanks for sharing!

I like the zero with a line through it to create the "stop" symbolism. A stretch, but I like it.

This is really nice! The logo works as well. It’s a good example of how appealing a hacked domain can present. The imagery lends itself to being flattering on all types of printables. Well done!

Aristocr.at is super dope. I have "antisoci.al", "donotclickon.me", and "donotreply.me"

“ Antisoci.al “. Love it!

Crosscha.in

Bingo! This screams the perfect domain for a blockchain company or endeavor. One headquartered in India perhaps?

THAT IS FREAKIN AWESOME!

This doesn't count as a domain extension hack per se, but I have the following domain:

Hackbolt (dotcom)
Hackbolt, dictionary word, ocean bird representing international scope, the one an only animal that has the word hack in it, animal names are regarded as the best brands and domains in the world. Strong, popular, and related technology brands include Thunderbird, Thunderbolt, Hacker News, and Lifehacker. A lightning bolt behind or morphed into the bird would also look very cool.

Makes perfect sense! You have a nice one there @stevo! The “0” is a versatile character for those creative enough to recognize and leverage it. We’re right there with you. We hold “CASIN0.net”. “0 as in number” and “0 phonetically”. Much success to you!

Don’t know if counts as a domain hack , but I’ve got Coinstinct dawt com

phhh.. I have IAMagic com and IASlayer com AND AiVisable com.... oh wait those are not hacks, those are MORON CANT SPELL moves... carry on.

gimmicky domains switch to the .com as soon as they can since they get trashed by the SEO by existing sites with non typo domains (unless you are extremely popular like visual.ly )
you might even attract attention of legal on accusations of hijacking, copyright infringement or squatting. So only real usage is for shortening your existing url.

Everything evolves. The internet we have today won’t be the internet we have tomorrow. Who knows what a hacked domain might be worth in the near future. All it takes is one key use-scenario to emerge for the flood gates of value to open. From there, many who believe hacked domains are worth nothing now will likely act on their investor’s instinct and register the very thing they weren’t fans of. With the incoming generation of investors, hacked names could be as popular as emoticons and acronyms.

Hacked domains are an acquired taste like many things in life. Some investors feel .com names are like fine wine when aged. Not everyone likes, or can consume, wine though. Nevertheless, it’s our difference in taste that makes everything valuable to someone, somewhere. Hacked domains are no exception. To be honest, many of our fellow investors have made it their mission to devalue most styles of naming. It’s fair to say the marketplace value for hacked domains is related to bias.

A heavily “marketed” and “promoted” bias that is.

I think I only have this one:

No, it is Collage

No, we totally understand. We were simply suggesting GE would benefit from having a brand called Collage that uses the domain colla.ge. After all, they are GE and the domain is awesome! Thanks for sharing.

I like youtu.be

This one is classic. The fact YouTube owns, and uses, it makes a strong case for why hacked domains deserve more credit than what some domainers give them.
