The .ml Extension

[Jason]

It used to be free along with .tk another one I liked. I thought was cool and used it for at least one site Do you all like it?

You know a really funny story about .ml? They kept getting email meant for .mil (US military) domains that got typoed. They were receiving hundreds of thousands of misaddressed emails a year.

I assume that's part of the reason it's not free any more - because the old maintainer retired and a new maintainer for the domain came along.

I've used it before whenever I was testing things out. I usually used .tk more whenever I needed a free domain, sometimes .ga would be another extension I'd use. It's funny that they kept getting mail for .mil lol.

Honestly, this is one of the perks of owning a domain that you definitely will always keep - I’ve owned a domain for 22 years at this point, my email is tied to it (so I can take it anywhere), and I can throw any number of test subdomains up whenever I like without any headaches.

If the US military could find a use for it, the extension could be a goldmine.
