data.zip what can go wrong?
It seems that all domains with English words are premium.
Who the f... wants to pay $525 for dong.foo?
Seems zip is the best among them🤔
I am going to trust zero of the .zip domains.

Every time new TLDs, every time "wow, more lame tlds".
Yep, that's added to the sinkholes. Seems super irresponsible.
Seems like they jumped the shark when they started with the whole "designer" domain TLDs.
.com/.net/.org + ccTLD's... why more??
Same goes for emojis.
Well, Dong Foo doesn't want to pay that...

New TLDs = New BLDs (Bottom-Level Domains).
Who knows that?

They won't let me register the un.zip domain:
Despite these days I always unzip legally - 18+, mutual agreement, etc.
Google says the domain is registered, but it isn't.
They take action really fast
"UN", ICANN reserved probably.
