Do it anyway. Having anything behind a TLD that is tied to the political control of a tiny geographic area is insanely careless

Maybe, but I had no idea this was tied to a country. I thought it was a novelty tld, like xyz and art. You know, like input/output so io.

Yeah, I've been with you. I owned a couple .so from Somalia for a while. They cranked up the cost to $$$ and I had to cancel it. I'm not a smartass, I just burned myself already in the past

That assumption is exactly why tons of techbros jumped on it. But no, it's for the British Indian Ocean Territory. Roughly 23 square miles of islands all within pissing distance of each other south of India.
