I still remember when our app went offline and we scrambled to diagnose the issue. Turns out it was the whole .io TLD that was down! Never again did I buy a .io

- kube-system 4y agoYeah, too many people pick TLDs solely out of vanity. But there's a huge spectrum of registries in this space. Who is in charge of your DNS records? It could be Verisign, under Delaware law, or it could be some guy updating a zone file in notepad, under a dictator's rule. You probably should check that out before you build a business on it.
- justsomehnguy 4y agoNever use a domain you use for a product website in your product. `boringproductcodename.com` would be always available despite PR dept shenanigans, product and/or company renamings, buyouts and whatever. Also would cost $15/y for at least a decade.
