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.

Use the search tool below to innovate on the affordable class of .xyz domains made up of 1.111 billion possible 6-digit, 7-digit, 8-digit, and 9-digit numeric combinations, between ‘000000.xyz’ through ‘999999999.xyz,’ now 99¢ per year, every year.

This is from the registrar itself back in 2017.
