Stokes, who is the developer of 'Mailoji' is, ' netflix.soy from experience you purchased your domain name', you began to have an interest in pictograph domain such as '????.ws'. Emojis are so widespread that it's pretty hard to spend a day without seeing them on the internet, but you rarely see them in the emoji domain. So Stokes came up with the idea of 'buying an emoji domain.'
Stokes initially planned to buy a one-letter emoji domain, but there were already websites that could get emoji domains in four different TLDs (the '.ws' part of ????.ws). That's right. Of the emoji domains sold on this website, almost all 'emoji domains that use only one emoji' have already been acquired, but '????.' Using the TLD '.ws'. A pictogram domain called 'ws' was available, so Stokes buys it.
Set all emails sent to the purchased emoji domain '????.ws' to be forwarded to your regular email address, and use Google's free email service Gmail to address 'ben@????.ws' I sent an email, but it didn't reach my inbox.
It turns out that this was because the emoji domain was identified as spam. Therefore, Mr. Stokes seems to have thought, 'On the contrary, it is possible to forward an email addressed to a normal email address to an email address using an emoji domain.'
Therefore, first forward the email sent to 'ben@????.ws' to an email address that does not use the emoji domain '[email protected]', and from this address the email that Stokes usually uses. We will conduct an experiment to forward the mail to the address again.
This experiment was successful, and the email sent to 'ben@????.ws' was successfully forwarded to the normal email address.
Continuing on, Stokes, who researched emoji domains, finds that only 13 TLDs in the world accept emoji domain registrations. The emoji domains are registered in '.cf', '.ga', '.gq', '.la', '.ml', '.tk', '.st', '.fm', '.to', and '.je'. Only 13 of '.gg', '.kz' and '.ws'. However, it seems that only four TLDs, '.fm', '.ws', '.to', and '.ml', were displayed on the site where Mr. Stokes purchased the emoji domain.
Almost all emojis are used in these four TLDs, and it seems that it was possible to acquire emoji domains using multiple emojis such as '????????.ws'. However, Mr. Stokes said that he wanted an emoji domain that used only one emoji instead of a domain where multiple emojis were lined up.
So, Stokes investigates what emoji domains remain unacquired in other TLDs. Then, it seems that there were many 'emoji domains that use only one emoji' such as '.la', '.ga', '.gq', and '.je' that have not yet been acquired by TLD.
Mr. Stokes will get an emoji domain called '⭐.gg' for 29 euros (about 3800 yen), but the day after the purchase, he was informed that 'I can register the emoji domain, but I can not make it work'. It seems to be.
Mr. Stokes continued to search for emoji domains after that, but it seems that many registrars could not even search for emoji domains. Under such circumstances, Mr. Stokes discovered a registrar in Kazakhstan. The registrar's website is said to have been written in Russian, but you can use Google Translate to search for the emoji domain in '.kz' and find that you can get the emoji domain '⭐.kz'. By purchasing this emoji domain, Stokes finally gets the email address 'ben@⭐.kz'.
Even more surprisingly, '.kz' said that an emoji domain using one emoji was sold for only $ 8 (about 870 yen). So Stokes came up with the idea of building a service that would allow him to get email addresses using a variety of pictograms.
Mr. Stokes wrote that he finally purchased 150 kinds of emoji domains, and the cost was about 1200 dollars (130,000 yen).
And Stokes will create a website 'Mailoji' where you can register an email address using the purchased emoji domain. The system is built so that emails using the emoji domain will not be recognized as spam, and the emails will be delivered correctly to the other party while forwarding the emails by the above method.

The number of views of the posted advertising movie gradually increased, and it was played more than 200,000 times in two days after posting, and it seems that it succeeded in test selling 60 emoji email addresses.
After confirming that the demand for emoji email addresses was high, Stokes purchased an additional 100 emoji domains.
In addition, we will create a promotional movie in which Japanese voice actors read 'My Logi!' To promote 'Mailoji'.

After multiple promotional activities, 'Mailoji' started promoting the service on Product Hunt, a website for sharing and discovering new products. On the day it was posted on Product Hunt, it recorded 6700 PV in one day, and it seems that more than 150 emoji email addresses were sold. The most popular emoji domain among the emoji email addresses sold via Product Hunt was '@ ????'.

According to Mr. Stokes, the revenue at the time of article creation is 1440 dollars (about 157,000 yen), and at the time of article creation, 300 types of emoji domains are available. 'It was purely fun to create an emoji email address service,' says Stokes, although not all emoji domains purchased are profitable.
