These also include newer, high-value extensions like .ai and .io, as well as brandable ones like .co, .vip, and .pro.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-the-two-types-of-premium-domains\"><strong>The Two Types of Premium Domains<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are <strong>two main categories<\/strong> of premium domain names:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-1-aftermarket-premium-domains\"><strong>1.
