What is the .fail domain name?
The .fail domain name is a new top-level domain (TLD) that was released in February of 2016. The domain name is intended for websites that are not successful, or "failures".
This could include websites that have been abandoned by their owners, or that are no longer active.
The .fail domain name is available to anyone who wants it and can be registered at any domain name registrar.
However, some domain name registrars like to make their customers aware of the .fail TLD and may even offer free transfers from other domain names.
What does the .fail domain name look like?
The .fail domain name looks like any other domain name.
It can have a maximum of 63 characters and may include letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), and hyphens (-).
It must also start with a letter or number, and end with a letter or number.
The .fail top-level domain is available in all standard character sets including:
A-Z, a-z, 0-9, - (dash), _ (underscore)
and can be registered by anyone for any use at any registrar. Users familiar with other internationalized domain names will find that they work just as they do on the rest of the Internet.
Why would someone want to use the .fail TLD?
There are a few reasons why someone might want to use the .fail TLD.
One reason could be that they have a website that is not successful and they want to own the domain name associated with it. This could be funny or tongue-in-cheek, or it could be a way of owning up to the fact that their website is not doing well.
Another reason someone might want to use the .fail TLD is that they are creating a website that is meant to be funny or satirical.
A site like this could poke fun at current events or popular culture, and using the .fail domain name would help to convey that message.
