What would be the safest non .com/.net/.edu domain to buy in the future? I have a feeling the .com is going to become devalued in the coming year. I no longer will build a site that I believe could ever be popular under a .com.
I would rather give my money to .ly, which while they have some rather draconian rules because of their religion, I have a strong feeling they would tell the US to eff off if they were asked to take a site down at the DNS level.
I hope more and more businesses move their domains, and perhaps even their operations to other countries to avoid all this nonsense. This is less money in the US, less taxes to the US, and we will learn our lesson. Money talks, and usually pretty quick.
Imagine if facebook.com became facebook.ly all of a sudden. Granted, they would never do this to facebook even if child porn were on the front page for months. Not all of us are facebook though.
- skymt 15y ago.me is a popular choice for sites fleeing US TLDs. Montenegro isn't being actively targeted by IP lobbyists, and the registry is marketing the TLD worldwide.
- dsl 15y agoPick a domain where you have to actually contact the NIC in-country to register a domain. Most of the .me, .eu, .asia, .ws, etc. are operated by US companies (Afilias, VeriSign, Neustar) under licence and subject to US law.
