Looks like a good MVP, but the .io domain is a non-starter because of the past registrar/mgmt. problems (ie. entire registrar and DNS being pwned.)

If anybody knows if .io mgmt. is professionally managed now, let me know.

Thank you for this. I wouldn't have known to even look. Now I wonder if there are TLD and registrar auditing and rating surveys.

FYI:

- stick with .com

- avoid .tv, or any islands/small kingdoms

- .id is underfunded (lifetime domains, so no renewal fees)

- research anything else

Equally, something seems to be up with .af currently. Both Gandi and Namecheap can't register those currently (only places I checked) and haven't been able to for at least a week. No idea how long this has been going on.
