.email — should you use it?
Generic TLD · introduced 2014
The short answer
Meta-problem: an .email domain is mostly used… in email, where exotic TLDs get the worst treatment.Why it works
- Self-describing for email tools
Why it might not
- Deliverability irony
- Narrow
The longer take
Fine for a docs site or tool page about email. Don't send your actual mail from a TLD spam filters barely know.
