UnSource:List of domain hacks
From UnMeta
According to Wikipedia, "a domain hack is an unconventional domain name that combines domain labels, especially the top-level domain, to spell out the full "name" or title of the domain, making a kind of pun... In this context, the "hack" represents a clever trick (as in programming), not an exploit or break-in (as in security)."

[edit] List of active domain hacks
This list contains names in active use only (not parked as linkspam, under construction, unregistered, "for sale" or failing to resolve). These appear in order of top-level domain used. This most often corresponds to the name of the country of registration, which may differ entirely from the countries in which the actual site is hosted or most actively used.
