Hi,
I only found these through a straw pull (unlike .technology it's not even
mentioned here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains) after
thinking, V2COM also uses one of the more recent domain extensions .mobi
(which according to Wikipedia should mostly be used for Mobile friendly
sites, but I guess some providers also use it[?]) and now registered 2
"ultra-cheap" (~3€ per year, not month) further domains, which thanks to
the attractive price I'd consider keeping for some time.
- uom.tec (the short form of ".technology" if you want)
-units.tec because it was also available, consider it an alias.
both initially for 5 years till 2019
We are fairly free now to use each of them, but I'd say those with a
distinct short form like "uom.tec" or "uom.si" (which is Slovenia btw.) may
be preferred, others especially .technology are a nice alias, but unless
it's worth the effort I might cut it back if it's not used via Maven or a
package name then.
WDYT?
