Do you have ideas for TLDs? Here's some of mine, not sure if any of these exist already:

  • .plus
  • .now
  • .ent (short for enterprise)
  • .one
  • .er (for domain hacks, don't get any ideas)
  • .db
  • .source

Why not remove gTLDs altogether? With the exception of country-specific TLDs, they no longer serve a purpose.

Adding all of these worthless extensions that nobody uses just exposes how pointless the whole system is.
