We’ve heard the stories about famous people such as Taylor Swift and Mark Zuckerberg buying up Web addresses ending in .sucks. But now low-level peons like you and me have the chance to make like the stars — for dirt cheap.
Individual .sucks domains are now being auctioned off for as little as $0.99 a year by This.sucks Inc., a registrar for .sucks domains.
In principle, this means ordinary people will be able to set up blogs and forum sites where they can freely criticize brands and products they don’t like (or at least those brands and products that didn’t pre-emptively buy up their own .sucks domains during a special sunrise period reserved for trademarks.)
On the bright side, you can also sign up for domains ending in .rocks, for the same price.
