Dot .io sort of sucks. Moving back to .com

  Can you elaborate? I've seen a lot of companies using .io and .ai recently. I don't but I'm curious why you found it was bad.

    My org uses .io - There's been some technical issues discussed in the past with io on hn which should be searchable. However we've also encountered users being unfamiliar with what .io is/means and if it's safe. Tech companies who serve other tech companies probably don't have this issue but if your audience is to the general public it could be a problem.

    Previous company I worked for foolishly decided to host our API on a .io domain, which stopped working from time to time. Eventually we started hosting the API over .net and .com and never hit any issues. I was trying to search for any comparisons about tld uptimes, but seems there is none. .io has been one of the lesser good I've used.
