Ask HN: How safe are .io domains?
Hi HN,
How safe are .io domains, specifically when purchased from nic.io (the official registrar as far as I can tell)?
Consensus in my Googling has generally turned up negative opinions, but I see that github has a .io domain now, so surely that is some kind of social proof?
Thanks guys,
- tokenizer 13y agoI have an io domain with no issues. I registered it from https://iwantmyname.com/ https://iwantmyname.com/, which I would recommend.
- Jeremy1026 13y agoDefine "safe"?
- nsomaru 13y agowell, I would not like to lose the domain because I intend to run a business from said domain. If the registrar is nefarious, I would not trust domains under .io with a company...
