> I would avoid all of the two-letter domain names Here in Europe all of the national TLDs for countries I can think of off the top of my head are two letter TLDs, and will be regarded as trustworthy in their respective countries. .no .se .dk .fi .fr .it .de .ch .at .pl .es .sk and so on and so forth

  I certainly trust those and globally, cuz "in their respective countries" is not a high enough bar

  Gov.uk - love it. .co.uk - always smelled of cheap, second hand, gaudy.

  ccTLDs are two letter correct. Avoiding two letter TLDs is non-practical. If you focus on the local market just take your country's TLD.

.ai and .io are hot commodities, though, and I've never once had problems with either. Looking at the ample existential evidence, both startups and VCs love these two TLDs.

What about longer ones like .voyage? Do you know if they suffer from the same issues?

  You're in for a fun time if the company responsible for those gTLDs goes belly up and fails to pay their ICANN dues.
