Usable but limited

A natural home for personal pages, but platforms already own that space; expect volume signups, not strong brands or resale value.

closest 2012 bets
3 of 1,408

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.

.pagestrong parallel
delegated 2015 · live

Same bet: an ownerless web-primitive noun sold to everyone as the canonical place to put yourself, where value comes from mass thin registrations plus exact-match personal names rather than from any industry or community.

uncontested · scored 40* in 2012 · run by Charleston Road Registry Inc.

.sitemoderate
delegated 2015 · live

Also a generic infrastructure noun with no vertical and no natural owner, betting that a universal container word can win volume against .com, though it points at a property rather than at a person's identity.

5 applicants contested it · scored 55* in 2012 · run by DotSite Inc.

.contactmoderate
delegated 2015 · live

Closest identity-flavored generic in the list: a common noun for the canonical card a person or business hands out, monetized the same way through name.tld exact matches with no defensive-brand or community anchor.

uncontested · scored 32* in 2012 · run by Top Level Spectrum, Inc.

* 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.
