You can make QR codes that copy text to a clipboard right? Can't you just make it a DOI search term? Or pay $2/yr for a redirect domain that you can point to where you want later
Sure, but that $2/yr company goes out of business after 10 years and the QR code stops working.
I guess making the number just copy into your clipboard would be a decent option, but you can also just copy/paste text from images now, so why go through the trouble of QR coding it when that only makes sense to a computer?
Even if your registrar goes out of business ICANN will help you restore the domain with a new registrar.
Source it happened to one of my customers.
A numerical .xyz domain costs less than a dollar a year, and you can make as many redirect links as you want.
It costs less than a dollar for the first year. After that, who knows.
The plain text is much more reliable than any url.
This is from the registrar itself back in 2017.
Where are you getting domains for $2 per year?
Namecheap xyz domains are less than $3 after tax for the first year. Subsequent years are around $10.
That's not really $2 per year. Info domains used to be dirt cheap, but even those are pretty expensive after the first year now.
You can get word-vomit domains that are made for QR/imbedded links. No human is typing those out and they do nothing for SEO, so they're a pittance.
.xyz Domains that are just numbers are $1 per year. and netcup has a deal a few times a year that prices .de domains at 1,30€ per year.
