Hi any Japanese speakers who can confirm these translations?

オール.com (All)
デー.com (Day)
バーチャル.com (virtual)

Any other input appreciated.

ALl of them are japanese attempt to pronounce english words using Katakana alphanets.

オール is rarely used singularly. It's more often used in conjunction with another katakana word. for example, オールスター (all star) is a common usage.

デー.com sounds like a joke to me. (pls don't feel bad. i am just giving my frank opinion.)

バーチャル is often used.

Thanks Ryu, so you recommend I only keep バーチャル.com

no prob. however, pls note that, being rarely used in conversation does not always mean the word is worthless. there are many jpn companies that use katakana words (which suggest their foreign origin) as their brand names.
