Why I think the .one domain is the best alternative

These days, it is very likely that all popular domain endings (co, com, org, io …) for your first name are probably gone if you have a popular name like me 😂. If so, you should buy yourname.one, and this article tells you why.

My Situation

When I decided to start my website, I was quite stuck on what domain I should buy Here is a list of all TLDs available under £10/year. As you can see, all good domains are gone, only some left. I was left thinking what I should do?

My Reasoning

I had to rule out com.au and fr because they were related to countries.

• it: Can mean IT or Italian, but does not fit
• business: too long
• icu: Not quite right
• contact: too long
• fans: Doesn’t quite work here
• pictures: I am not a photographer…yet. The only option’s I was left with were .page and .one.

Page really sounded like a good deal, but I realised that it had one extra letter, and this was a deciding factor. There were also several reasons why I liked one.

Reasons I like .one

• The one and only me.
• Sounds catchy
• Short and same amount of letters as com
• Not related to any country
• No single purpose

So in the end I bought one domain with no regrets
