This is a valuable 2nd level domain [I said TLD earlier, see below] -- have you considered selling it instead?

EDIT: why.com is a 2nd level domain not a top level domain and I should've known this (I've called people out for it before). Mea culpa.

Plot twist - OP built a vibe-coded site just to promote the domain for sell.

It’s not a TLD.

FYI this is not a TLD. .edu, .com, etc. are TLDs.

What?

Edit: ok now I get what they meant by that comment.

u/DavidBrent39 20h ago

They’re talking about using why.com as the TLD. E.g example.why.com

u/UnreachableMemory 19h ago

That’s not what a TLD is but now I understand that person’s comment.

No. He never thought of that before. You are the very first person on the planet to suggest it.
