"You can only rent a domain."
If ICANN-approved root.zone and ICANN-approved registries are the only options.
As an experiment I created own registry, not shared with anyone. For many years I have run own root server, i.e., I serve own custom root.zone to all computers I own. I have a search experiment that uses a custom TLD that embeds a well-known classification system. The TLD portion of the domainname can catgorise any product or service on Earth.
ICANN TLDs are vague, ambiguous, sometimes even deceptive.
- iampims 1y agoYou should write something about this…
- coldfoundry 1y agoThis sounds like a wonderful project, do you have any documentation of the process you wouldn't mind sharing? Would love to play around with something similar to what you did, almost like a mini-internet.
- eximius 1y agoIs there any difference here from running a normal DNS server? Any of your special domains will be ones your server claims as authoritative, so I don't understand why you need a root server?

- quectophoton 1y agoDo you also have a trusted TLS certificate authority? If yes, how has been your experience maintaining and securing it?
- 1vuio0pswjnm7 1y agoFor this system, I have alternatives to "TLS" and to "trusted TLS certificate authorities". None of this is connected to the internet. It is "home lab" stuff. I have alternatives for so-called "modern" web browsers controlled by advertising companies, too. For all the third-party-mediated stuff on today's internet I generally have alternatives that let me have more control.
