If I buy a domain not from my own country, will it effect the useage at all?

Probably a silly question but the .uk domain is really cheap. If I’m not in the UK can I still use that domain for my server without issue? Its like 50 bucks for a ten year lease

Totally fine. The only issue could come from legal implications since the domain registrations are managed by different organisations in different countries (leading to your registration data being an open book with .net domains but most likely unavailable with .nexus). However unless you’re silly enough to host a very gay social media instance using the TLD from god damn Afghanistan you’re probably fine (yes, that happened).

Queer.af is Shutting Down, Due to Taliban

Mastodon instance Queer.af is shutting down because the country that provides the domain is now ruled by the Taliban.
