.ck is a valid TLD, but apparently you can only get second-level domain names. If that weren't the case, you could get queer.asfu.ck

I love that the first example on that page is .co.ck

This feels underutilized.

Domains considered profane will not be considered on any level, and the application will be dissolved with the applicant being notified, and future requests for the same domain name will be ignored. '.ck' domains are monitored on the web, on a regular basis for profanity on the Internet if it is found to be doing so, or if the site is deemed inappropriate, the domain will be terminated without notification or refun

Holy shit, nice.co.ck could be yours for $586/two years: https://shop.gandi.net/en/domain/suggest?search=nice.co.ck&tld=ck. I guess you'd need to create a company called Nice and have it recognized by Cook Islands

It might be hard to register a business named "Nice" in 2024 since it's a really generic word. Instead, try:

  • MyHuge — A workout supplement company.
  • BigFat — Weight management coaching company.
  • The Blackest — A company specializing in black inks and paints.
  • PlayWithMy — Goods exchange company focused on trading video games and toys.
  • Please Suck — Vacuum manufacturer.

Another alternative would be to use .uk (there's already a lemmyf.uk)
