I tend to trust my government (Canada) and I appreciate that WHOIS information is hidden by default for .ca domains. I live here and always will so it seems fit to use the national TLD for representing myself and my work.
- varun_ch 2y agosame here with .ch! I trust Switzerland’s stability way more than I’d trust any business or country. I’m not actually sure if there’s any ccTLD more trustworthy. (yes I know that the TLD is ‘managed’ by a private company but still)
- tephra 2y agoIIRC CIRA who is the delegated ccTLD manager of .ca is not a government entity (this is quite common in the ccTLD space actually, a lot of ccTLD are being managed by foundations or non-profits).
- wlonkly 1y agoThey're not, they're a (refreshingly transparent) non-profit -- but the government has the ability to reassign management of .ca to another organization as they wish.
