Ask HN: Would you buy a .ar domain name?
6 comments
I think the revenue from that scheme is a rounding error relative to Argentina's budget (~100B/yr). It's not a small country.
Yes, this is true, but additional incremental revenue is still incremental revenue. It would be a small amount of revenue, some technology press wins, and added thought when purchasing domains.
If you do, you could be registr.ar!
That would be spectacul.ar
I would, as long as prices aren't exorbitant.
I'm argentinian. If I'm not wrong, domain name registration is free there.
And, knowing argentinian authorities really well, It will be a waste of time ask them, and if they agree to do that, it will take ages.

.ar.com -> com.ar
I have not found a way to register domain names that just end in .ar and I am thinking about undertaking the effort to try to convince members of the Argentinian NIC / government body to open up .ar extensions without any modifying suffixes.
There are numerous words and phrases in languages around the world that end in .ar and the country, businesses, people, and registrars (I am not a registrar) could benefit.
What do you think?
