Don't buy a .io domain for your personal site - stick to the gTLDs or national TLDs that are run by trusted governments (for reference, I have a .ca TLD because I trust the Canadian government to keep the cost roughly competitive with gTLDs). ccTLDs that have been bought by private companies are essentially privatized in a way that gTLDs and government-run ccTLDs are not.

- Pxtl 5y agoWhy not? ccTLDs were for countries to do with as they choose. If they sold/leased-so-loosely-that-it's-basically-sold their ccTLD to a private business to operate, who is ICANN to tell them different?
