milesWhich domains are too risky for hosting?
CoelacanthA big one is the .nu domain, which is extremely popular in Sweden (since “nu” means “now” in Swedish).
It’s currently controlled by the same large non-profit that controls .se (Internet Foundation in Sweden, IIS), but Niue has been wanting control of it for decades. It’s a complicated issue since .nu addresses have become incredibly important to Swedish Internet infrastructure.
Litigation was launched in 2020 but I’m not aware of any news since then.
Who is Niue?
Niue is a small Polynesian island north-east of New Zeeland. It’s who the domain was originally assigned to.
