Emoji domains might be the next big thing

If you want to have an emoji-based domain name for yourself, GoDaddy is making that dream come true. The web hosting company and internet domain registrar introduced an emoji domain search engine to find out if said domain is available or not. Don’t expect to get a .com or .org emoji domain, though. Currently, .ws is the only top-level domain that accepts emojis. This new feature is meant to make it easier for mobile users to search for available emoji domains. Who knows if we reach a point where only emoji domains remain standing? We’ve seen stranger things happen.

Tesla finally owns Tesla.com domain

The domain Tesla.com has been owned by a Nikola Tesla fan and engineer named Stu Grossman. He’s held the rights to it since 1992. But it seems Tesla Motors has finally gotten their hands on it. If you visit Tesla.com, you’ll be redirected to Teslamotors.com. And this certainly comes at a time when Tesla CEO Elon Musk wanted to change its name to reflect the change in business scope of the company, like the Tesla Energy wing of the company. It’s not known how the change came about or if Grossman got a big payout for it.
