.ck is a valid TLD, but apparently you can only get second-level domain names. If that weren't the case, you could get queer.asfu.ck

It might be hard to register a business named "Nice" in 2024 since it's a really generic word. Instead, try:

  • MyHuge — A workout supplement company.
  • BigFat — Weight management coaching company.

  • PlayWithMy — Goods exchange company focused on trading video games and toys.
  • Please Suck — Vacuum manufacturer.

Another alternative would be to use .uk (there's already a lemmyf.uk)
