Unfortunately, the .ge top-level domain is only open to businesses that have representation in the former Soviet republic of Georgia. Also, it costs between $100 and $300. So, the clever domain hack of missin.ge is out.
There’s always missing.me (because, you know, me == missing e…). I dunno, not that excited about that one. It is cheap, at least, because Montenegro needs our money.
Doing something like e.missi.ng would be even more insane at $50,000 per year. Nigerians are crazy. Not only do they need our money, they need all of it.
I could just register missinge.ca…. I love domain hacks, though. I actually had to give up on getting my personal site to be cutl.er because Eritrea apparently doesn’t have a well-developed Internet service infrastructure, let alone domain registrars (though, I’m reasonably happy with jeremy.cutler.is).
Figuring out that I could do that might be my favorite geek moment ever…
I figure if Morocco decides to add a local business requirement, I’ll just move there ;-)

I had my heart set on getting jam.ie, but Ireland requires residency and the site is already taken. I kicked around...

I hate domain hacks. They’re impossible to remember. missing-e.ca with a .com alias is easy to remember.

“tumbleer.com” — with an extra “e’. But that’s probably just asking for more calls from Karp’s legal goons.

good luck in finding your domain, and not being a dick about other countries. ;x

missinge.net seems to be the obvious answer. Domain hacks are overrated (and hard for a lot of people to remember).
