I think (but don't hold me to it), that country-ran (eg, .co.uk, .us) or major TLDs are safe (eg, .net, org)

- betaby 11y agoWell, happens with .se. in the past http://securityandthe.net/2009/10/13/se-domains-offline/ http://securityandthe.net/2009/10/13/se-domains-offline/ and other tlds as well.
- billyhoffman 11y agoI don't understand what you mean by "country-ran." .us and .uk are ccTLDs, meaning they were created and recognized 2-3 decades ago by ICANN based on ISO country and Territory codes. ccTLSs are among the oldest continually operating TLDs. In fact, .io is a ccTLD. But that doesn't make them "run by a country". .us is not run by the US government. It is run by Neustar. There is not something that says Neustar won't have poorly available/slow name servers, beyond that same statement that the .io people said.
- josephmx 11y agoI was under the impression that ccTLDs are administered/ran by the country they belong to (eg, I thought .us was administered by the US government). It sounds like I'm wrong though, my bad.
- icebraining 11y agoCountries have the oversight, but they usually contract out its administration to some company.
