41/ 100
Usable but limited

A natural label for creatives' showcase sites, but it's long, rarely resold, and will likely need bundling by web platforms to sell.

The 2012 applications making the most similar bet. Chosen by AI from every string in that round, without being told what happened to any of them.

.gallerystrong parallel
delegated 2013 · live

Same bet: a single generic English noun naming the display-container for someone's own work, sold to individual creatives and small firms who must accept a descriptive suffix as their primary identity (name.gallery / name.portfolio), with no industry body or company behind the word.

uncontested · scored 40* in 2012 · run by Sugar House, LLC

.blogmoderate
delegated 2016 · live

Same structural wager that a word describing what the site IS, rather than who the owner is, can carry a personal or professional homepage identity, though its addressable base is vastly broader and its habit already entrenched.

9 applicants contested it · scored 70* in 2012 · run by PRIMER NIVEL S.A.

.studiomoderate
delegated 2015 · live

Targets the identical buyer, the freelance designer, photographer, or small creative shop looking for a self-presentation domain, but bets on a noun for the entity rather than a noun for the artifact the entity produces.

2 applicants contested it · scored 50* in 2012 · run by Spring Goodbye, LLC

* A separate 2012-only read, time-locked to what was public that year. Different scale from this page’s score — the two are not comparable.
