New Domain Ninjas | Hover boards, the NFL, and Kanye West


We’re back with another roundup of Name.com customers who are using New Domains to do amazing things online. In this segment, we’ll highlight an NFL player, a review site for a popular new gadget, and reveal the registrar behind Kanye West’s online apparel store.

fox.vet

Cornell veterinarian student Justin Woo registered fox.vet to promote his app of the same name. The app allows vet students to share compelling images and case studies to encourage real-live veterinary education and collaboration of peers. The website fox.vet is not only short and memorable, but it also helps visitors understand what the app is for.

hoverboard.reviews

In the market for a hoverboard? The website hoverboard.reviews provides unbiased critiques about the models available to help customers make an informed choice before they buy. The website also boasts some serious SEO weight: Search for “hoverboard reviews” on Google and the website shows up as the first non-paid result.

richardsherman.rocks

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman is one of the many athletes who is transitioning to a more memorable domain. Type richardsherman.rocks into a browser, and it will redirect to the football star’s main website, richardsherman25.com. URL forwarding is a great way to test the waters of a New Domain while keeping your existing URL.

fit.live

AJ Joshi, entrepreneur and founder of TSN, has adopted fit.live and valens.live to redirect to his popular Periscope channel FIT.live. Here, health and fitness junkies can join Q&A sessions, learn about nutrition, and find out more about the world of pilates. AJ has also adopted aj.live to redirect followers to his personal Periscope channel.

And as a bonus … yeezy.supply

This domain owned by Kanye West is actually registered with eNom, but it’s Kanye West so we felt like we had to include him as a New Domain Ninja anyways. (After all, we named our office goldfish after him. That has to count for something, right?) Those who are waiting with bated breath for Yeezy Season 3 can navigate to yeezy.supply to see a count down for the new collection’s reveal. That’s it—the entire website. If nothing else, Kanye sure has a flair for drama.
