Domain hack
Encyclopedia
A domain hack is an unconventional domain name
that combines domain levels, especially the top-level domain
(TLD), to spell out the full "name" or title of the domain. Examples include del.icio.us
(http://del.icio.us/ ), goo.gl (http://goo.gl/ ) and fold.it (http://fold.it/ ). In this context, the hack represents a trick (as in programming
), not an exploit or break-in (as in security
).
Domains such as .al
, .as
, .at
, .in
, .is
, .it
, .me
, .us
, or .co
(Albania
, American Samoa
, Austria
, India
, Iceland
, Italy
, Montenegro
, United States
, or Colombia
respectively) are easy to use as domain hacks because they correspond to short, simple dictionary words. Alternatively, a name is chosen so that the last few characters match an existing top-level domain, such asinter.net , so that every character is used in forming the common name.
Domain hacks offer the ability to produce extremely short domain names. For example, blo.gs
has a total of only five letters (versus blogs.com, at eight letters), as every letter is taken into account as the site's title. Similarly, tweet
in, a common Twitter
mimic, is represented through the domainhttp://2et.in . This makes them potentially valuable as redirectors (like i.am, which redirects to FortuneCity's V3 service), pastebin
s, base domains from which to delegate subdomains and URL shortening
services.
s ending in "pla.net" were active. The concept of spelling out a phrase with the parts of a hostname
to form a domain hack is well established. On Friday, May 3, 2002, icio.us was registered to create del.icio.us.
Who.is is a whois
server, indicating the registered ownership information of a domain. It was established June 12, 2002 and registered to an address in Reykjavík
, Iceland
.
On January 14, 2004, the Christmas Island Internet Administration
revoked .cx
domain registration for shock site
goatse.cx
, a domain which used "se.cx" to form the word "sex". The domain was originally registered in 1999. Similar names had been used for parody sites such as oralse.cx or analse.cx; in some cases, .cz
(Czech Republic
) or .kz
(Kazakhstan
) are substituted for .cx
.
The term domain hack was coined by Matthew Doucette on November 3, 2004 to mean "an unconventional domain name that uses parts other than the SLD (second level domain) or third level domain to create the title of the domain name."
Yahoo!
acquired blo.gs
on June 14, 2005, and del.icio.us on December 9, 2005.
On 11 September 2007, name server
s for .me
were delegated by IANA
to the Government of Montenegro
, with a two-year transition period for existing .yu
names to be transferred to .me
. One of the first steps taken in deploying .me
online was to create .its.me
as a domain space for personal sites. Many desirable domain hacks, such as love.me or leave.me, were held back by the registry as premium names for later auction. One .me domain hack example is please.do.not.disturb.me.
On December 15, 2009 Google
launched its own URL shortener under the domain goo.gl using the country code top-level domain
(ccTLD) of Greenland
.
In March 2010, National Public Radio launched its own URL shortener under the domain n.pr using the ccTLD of Puerto Rico
. The n.pr domain is currently used to link to an NPR story page by its ID and is one of the shortest possible domain hacks in existence.
In late 2010, Apple
launched a URL shortener at the domain itun.es, using the ccTLD of Spain
, in a similar move to Google's goo.gl. Unlike goo.gl, which is public and can be used for any web address, itun.es is used only for iTunes Ping
URL shortening.
For example, blo.gs
makes use of the TLD
.gs
(South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands
) to spell "blogs", fa.st makes use of the TLD
.st
(São Tomé and Príncipe
) to spell "fast", chronolo.gy
uses the TLD
.gy
(Guyana
) to spell "chronology", Instagr.am makes use of the TLD
.am
(Armenia
) to spell the name of photo-sharing service "Instagram", helpmelearn.it makes use of the TLD
.it
(Italy
) to spell "help me learn it", sexyi.am uses TLD
.am
(Armenia
) and goodluckwith.us uses TLD
.us
(United States
) and sharing it for subdomains with free hosting, and tel.ly
uses the TLD
.ly
(Libya
) to spell "telly" (a popular British colloquial term for television).
The third-level domains
del.icio.us, cr.yp.to
and e.xplo.it make use of the SLDs
icio.us, yp.to and xplo.it from the TLDs .us
(United States
), .to
(Tonga
) and .it
(Italy
) to spell "delicious", "crypto" and "exploit" respectively.
In some cases, an entire country code domain has been re-purposed in its international marketing, such as .am
(Armenia
), .fm
(Federated States of Micronesia
), .cd
(Democratic Republic of the Congo
), .dj
(Djibouti
), and .tv
(Tuvalu
) for sites delivering various forms of audiovisual content.
.ly
(Libya
) has been used for English words that end with suffix "ly", such as sil.ly. Popular URL shortening services bit.ly, nm.ly (namely) and ow.ly use this hack.
The link shortening service gadaf.fi
was created as a reaction to Libyan authorities yanking a .ly link shortener.
, Austria
, and Switzerland
the domain .ag for Antigua and Barbuda
is used by corporation
s in the legal form of Aktiengesellschaft
(commonly abbreviated as AG).
The American Samoa
domain .as
is popular in the handful of countries where A/S is the legal suffix for corporation
s.
Some organisations situated in Switzerland
use TLDs to specifically refer to their canton
(like the Belgian
TLD .be
for the Canton of Berne
).
In Turkish
, "biz" means "we", and can be used for emphasis at the end of "we are" sentences. So the domain www.anneyiz.biz could be translated as "We're mothers, we are." (This is the Hürriyet newspaper's family health and well-being site.)
Family name
s in many Slavic languages
end with ch (i.e. -ich, -vich, -vych, -ovich), so .ch
(ccTLD for Switzerland
) are very interesting to them.
Since the introduction of .eu
domains (eu meaning "me" in Romanian and in Portuguese), these domains have become popular in Romania, with people registering their names with the .eu extension.
In French
, Italian
and Portuguese
, « là » or « lá » mean "there". As the .la
domain (Laos
) is available for second-level registration worldwide, this can be an easy way to get a short, catchy name like "go there". In Italy some TLDs are identical to Italian Provinces' identifier, such as .to (Turin) or .tv (Treviso) and are thus extensively used for web domains in the area. The Canadian
domain .ca
is also trivial to use as « cá » ("here") in Portuguese or « ça » ("that") in Canadian French
; local Canadian presence is required.
Hungarian
domains sometimes use the Moroccan top level domain .ma
(meaning "today").
A fad amongst French-speakers was to register their names in the Niue
TLD .nu
, which in French
and Portuguese
means "nude" or "naked"; however, , Niue authorities have revoked many of these domain names. The handful that remain are joke domains without actual nudity. French speakers often use the .je
TLD, since "je" means "I" in French. In addition, .je
is used in the Netherlands, as it can mean both "you" or "your", and "small", since the addition of -je to most nouns produces a colloquial diminutive for (e.g. huis.je, or the well known iPhone app feest.je (feestje meaning "party").
Likewise, Dutch, Swedish, and Danish speakers sometimes use .nu, because it means "now" in these languages. The TLD is still used by many Swedish sites, as prior to 2003 it was impossible for individuals (and difficult for organizations) to register arbitrary domains under the .se
TLD.
In Russian
, net (as «nyet») means "no", so there are many domains in the format "something.net" (e.g. redaktora.net meaning "no editor"). A similar use of .info
(in many languages where the term signifies "information") is to use a negatory term and .info to yield local equivalents to "there is no information". In Czech
, Polish
and Slovak
, to means "it", so there are many domains using Tonga
's .to
in the format "do-something.to" (e.g., zrobie.to, meaning "I will do it" the Polish language
).
In Slovenian
, si is a dative form of the reciprocal personal pronoun and a second person form of the verb to be. As .si
is a Slovenian ccTLD, domain hacks are abundant. Additionally, the domain is attractive to speakers of Romance languages
, because it is a conjunction, pronoun or an affirmative interjection in many. ARNES
limits the use of the domain to residents and entities of Slovenia.
Many domain hacks are plays on words specific to one local language:
