People should generally just stop buying ccTLD domains for personal use. .ly, .ai, tv isn't as necessary or cool as they think it is.
Not that I agree with them, by the way. ccTLDs have to exist, countries have an obvious write to host their own TLDs without having to rely on others.
Look at these arbitrary .ai ccTLD rules [1], as originally posted by p4bl0:
> The terms and conditions of .ai domain names include things such as "not asking for investors" (without an Anguilla license to be a bank, broker, public company, ICO, exchange, or gambling site) and "not violating copyrights", both of which are… complicated for a lot of AI-related startups that chose to use a .ai domain.
That's arbitrary and horrible. Thoughts shouldn't be so encumbered.
Domains with the .ai TLD must obviously respect Anguilla law, just like the use .gov is restricted by the US government.
firstname@lastname.countryCode email addresses look good tho.
People should buy ccTLDs more often. I try to stick to domains in my country TLD when possible, instead of getting a generic (.com) one.
