With several Lemmy instances using the .ml TLD I’ve seen people mention others being risky as well. Which should be avoided?
minus-squareshnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lollinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up33·1 year agoBasically any 2-letter TLD should be avoided unless you live in that country. If you want to be clever, use subdomains and pick one of the new TLDs. For instance, ban.anal.ink, is like $5.
