Compare however:

спорт.com - SPORT [both singular and plural in one]

спортивный.com [THE .COM OF SOMETHING TO DO WITH SPORT] - no way to translate this into English, even Sporting.com doesn't explain it, it's the .COM OF SPORTS, a sportual.com (bad English) . However, words in this form sound very good as a domain names in Russian — but are probably not the first choice for a domain name. A good second choice? Yes, if the market opens up some more. I see more of these being registered by domainers today than in the past.

Example: сексуальный.com Sexual.com (the ".com" itself is SEXUAL and is the object of the sentence), compare with секс.com Sex.com which is just a statement of fact in the simple dictionary form: SEX.com

The plural of this form is сексуальные. But, ".com" is singular. So it doesn't work unless it was ".coms" plural.

Also, we have to consider that .com can be either masculine сексуальный.com, or feminine, сексуальная.com, but I have a sense that a website is masculine, and the ".com" domain itself sounds masculine.

If you speak Spanish I think you can understand what I mean better than if you just spoke English.
