[Ifirst]

Hi

Many of you must have realised that .com , .net , .org etc.. are not safe tld anymore for any business even if its Legal.What tlds are not controlled by VeriSign or Afilias.Can anyone provide a full list

I know only these: .ws , .eu , .in

.uk
.co.uk
.me
.ms
.ca
.asia
.de
.in
.nl
.info not 100% sure though

.se (sweden) is very popular even piratebay use it.
.me is safe,
if you need ultimate safe from USA, then use russian one .ru (100% privacy)

Note:
compared to .com/.net/.org/.info ==>> .org is better, not best though

.se - sweden is bending to the US , lots of disbalances though....Maybe the corrupted sweden gov will amend new laws soon
More suggestions welcomed
Thanks for the replies guys

Actually, Russia is cracking down on this and a lot of the local Russian registrars are being forced
to start verifying their clients. Albeit some just ask for cell phone number check, but others
are asking for passport scans etc.

With that said, I don't know where that's going, I doubt Russia is doing it just to pass information
on to anyone. But they obviously have their reasons.

I agree with long on the Russia thing....
Is .eu or .ws good enough(i see these two becoming really popular)
How is InternetBs.Net better than other registrars

.ru is the best against US lol

doesnt really matter.
They're all based in ICANN.

@Thrill
An offshore registrar make it difficult but not impossible for them to shut down a domain than in the US

Not every domain is based in ICANN buddy :D

.WS is a country code domain so it does not fall under the authority of ICANN. SamoaNIC.ws is the Registry for the .WS domain, and operates under a long term contract with the island of (Western) Samoa.

.ru is not safe any more due to new regulations, .su would be better. Depending on registrar, they both require passport verification.

Any good register out there apart from InternetBS.net
Suggest one for a .ws or .su domain
