Recycling of email addresses

[TenFour]

You may grab what looks like a fantastic domain name for an initial low cost only to find that the cost to renew rises to hundreds of dollars a year.

Plus, in my experience, you may find some TLDs get labeled as spam arbitrarily even if your particular domain is clean. I had terrible deliverability when I tried a .xyz domain for a bit. You also have the problem that if your address ever needs to get entered manually someplace many times it will be wrong because the typist puts in .com reflexively. I managed email lists for quite a few years and it was amazing and annoying how often email addresses were entered into the systems incorrectly, even by the email owner!

Is there any easy way to identify such domains?
