    Thumbs up .LY ccTLD

    What one thinks about the following:

    pure.ly
    sure.ly
    week.ly
    cheap.ly
    ideal.ly
    quick.ly
    ...

    They do jingle, but when will they become popular?

    Will they become popular? Probably not. There are a plethora of much better extensions, and .ly's only merit seems to be fairly poor names like those ones.

    Do they sound good, yes.

    Will they become popular?
    I do not think they will become popular unfortunately. It's very tough to make a obscure ccTLD stick. If something is developed and promoted anything is possible.

    Good luck man!

    They are still too expensive ($150/y). Not cheap for domain hacks.
    Not to mention that management of the .ly registry has been chaotic in the past. Bad memories for some.
    NameNewsletter.com - free lists of available domain names
    ZoneFiles.net (beta) - ccTLD and gTLD droplists

    They have dropped the price by 50% to 75$ per annum and changed the registrar. The guys just want to make money now. They are quite helpful I would say. There are not many jingling domains left, but I know quite few people who got right bids too.
