BitOps Main site FQDN

should we get bitops.sh ?

I love the idea of bitops.sh (it’s $76). It’s also misleading, though, because it’s a docker image and not a script. Helm, for example, has https://helm.sh/, but it’s a CLI command, so it’s more appropriate..

bitops.com is not available...

whois: https://www.whois.com/whois/bitops.com

could/should we reach out to see if we can buy it?

[mickmcgrath13]

https://bit.ops would be great, but .ops doesn't exist.

Could we make/request it?

• standard request process is complex and extremely expensive
  • you essentially need to build and maintain the infrastructure to manage registrants for the tld (i.e. operate as a registry)...
  • more info here: https://serverfault.com/questions/243316/can-i-create-a-top-level-tld-michael-for-instance
• maybe could request .ops from another company who operates as a registry already (like donuts inc)

Other options:

• bitops.consulting
• bitops.technology
• bitops.software
• bitops.cloud

bito.ps is also an option.

It’s also misleading, though, because it’s a docker image and not a script.

platform.sh is also a PaaS and not a script, but that doesn't seem to have hurt them.

• I wouldn't imagine the bitops.com to be available as it was first registered in 2008 and .com is always hard to get.
• For me, the preferred bitops.dev and bitops.io are already taken.
• There is also bitops.ci, but no bitops.cd which is more relevant to the project.
• bito.ps is not bad, looks great! A note it's a Palestine domain and might be harder to get and administer. Worth exploring.
• bitops.sh looks good so far too!

.ci is for the ivory coast (Côte d'Ivoire)

I purchased bitops.sh

thanks @bmomberger-bitovi and @armab.

I'd still like to keep our eye on bitops.com. I set a reminder to check again in case it's not auto-renewed. Otherwise, we can see about contacting the owner.

set up simple domain forwarding to bitops docs for now at: http://bitops.sh

[mickmcgrath13]

https://bitops.sh is complete.

BitOps.com is still unavailable...
