I wonder how much it would cost them to buy git.com.

Seems stupid on the part of the owner, not like they are going to find a big brand that matches the domain so well again and who knows how long domains will be valuable.

Yeah, I've inquired a number of times, it's ridiculous.

Yikes, 300k? How much would it cost to buy a new TLD?

Actually, that's a fascinating point. I wonder if Github has considered coughing up the the $185k to apply for the .git TLD.

I wonder if anybody has a server on their network named 'git' with which the single label DNS name 'git' as a TLD would conflict?

Wait until someone picks up .intranet. Heh.

Can you imagine how many user credentials per minute a 'mailserver' TLD could harvest?
