Domain Hacks

A domain hack is an unconventional domain name that combines domain levels, especially the top-level domain (TLD), to spell out the full "name" or title of the domain. Examples include del.icio.us (http://del.icio.us/), goo.gl (http://goo.gl/) and fold.it (http://fold.it/). In this context, the hack represents a trick (as in programming), not an exploit or break-in (as in security).

Typical domain names follow the structure of "title.tld" or "title.sld.tld", where "title" is the title of the domain name, and "tld" and "sld" are the top level domain and second level domain, respectively.
