A domain name hack has traditionally used ccTLD’s to form words and made it a brandable domain.
Some of the more famous hacks are bit.ly, and del.icio.us
instagram.com started out as instagr.am
But now with the new gTLD’s people are using them to form words with longer extensions to the right of the dot.
So .Land with 4 characters to the right of the dot, has become a popular hack in terms of registrations with domains like statenis.land, virginis.land, fireis.land as well as lake.land just tot name a few.
.Estate has also become the subject of a lot of “hack registrations” locking into “real.estate despite there will be a .realestate.
Some of the .estate domains hack I saw include
ALBANYREAL.ESTATE
ATLANTICCITYREAL.ESTATE
BAHAMASREAL.ESTATE
BERMUDAREAL.ESTATE
BOCAREAL.ESTATE
BRONXREAL.ESTATE
CUBANREAL.ESTATE
DAYTONAREAL.ESTATE
EASTHAMPTONREAL.ESTATE
HOLLYWOODREAL.ESTATE
PALMBEACHREAL.ESTATE
SOUTHHAMPTONREAL.ESTATE
