Google Registry has unveiled its latest addition to the world of domain names with the introduction of the .meme top-level domain, offering a playful and distinctive touch to website addresses.
Currently in an early access period, enthusiasts have the opportunity to secure their unique .meme domains with an additional one-time fee. For those looking to opt out of the extra cost, these domains will become publicly accessible starting December 5 at 4 pm UTC (12 pm ET), adhering to the standard annual pricing model.
The .meme domain has already found a home on various websites, featuring content dedicated to classic cat memes like grumpycat.meme, nyancat.meme, and keyboardcat.meme. Notably, the popular meme tracker, knowyour.meme, has also embraced the new .meme domain.
While some .meme sites may redirect users to .com addresses or other platforms, this addition aligns with Google Registry’s unconventional approach to domain offerings, including unique options like .dad, .boo, and the recently launched .ing.
Without a doubt, the .meme domain stands out as one of the most whimsical and playful additions to Google Registry’s distinctive collection. As individuals and businesses seek creative ways to express themselves online, the .meme domain offers a lighthearted and memorable option for those looking to add a touch of humor and personality to their web presence. Whether redirecting to established platforms or hosting original content, the .meme domain adds a new dimension to the ever-evolving landscape of online identity.
