TLDs ("Top Level Domains") and domain registration details

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Handles Club purchases real domains which are then made available to use as Bluesky handles for free. New domains can be added if they are available for us to purchase. A domain is available to purchase if it uses a valid TLD ("Top Level Domain") like .com .cat .computer and the domain is not yet owned by someone else.

The list of TLDs that exist can be found on a website like tld-list.com which has a database of all TLDs Listed Alphabetically. The availability of a domain can be verified using a domain registrar like Porkbun.

The most popular Handles Club domains are domains that can be used to make a phrase, e.g: alice.on.computer alice.and.cat alice.from.legal alice.avoids.work but domains can come in any form, e.g: bgay.social dubstep.lol nerd.credit.

Example

.website is a TLD included in the alphabetical list. We can then go to Porkbun and search for the domain ilovethis.website. Unfortunately, ilovethis.website shows as unavailable which means someone else has registered it so it cannot be added to Handles Club. However, if we search idonotlovethis.website Porkbun shows the domain is available to purchase so it could be added to Handles Club (yay!).

Domain Idea Criteria

We greatly appreciate any domain ideas that are shared with us. Many of the most popular Handles Club domains came from user suggestions. We will add a domain when we think it will appeal to multiple users.

πŸ’‘ If you have a domain name that you would like to use just for yourself or your community, please check out handles.net which is the platform that powers Handles Club and can be used to manage private handles with your own domain.

Submit a suggestion

Contact us to share your idea, we'll get back to you promptly :) If we can't add your suggestion because it isn't available, we'll help come up with some alternative options. We dream of someday having the perfect handle for every Bluesky user.
