registries
should we add information about what registry manages each tld? Mkwia (talk) 17:42, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Possibly add another section instead of adding more columns to the TLD table: Tier 1 Servers, being another table that lists the hostnames, IP addresses, and TLDs each root server operates. All info can be found here, although I'm not entirely sure of its "notability" for that info to be added to Wikipedia. -- Jonah Aragon &#124;Talk&#124; 02:12, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

.sky .ness
Hi, thanks for adding .sky and .ness. I could not find any source for OpenNIC peering these TLDs. Could you verify this and add them to the Peering agreements table along with Date introduced? Thanks, Mkwia (talk) 11:10, 17 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Mkwia, yes I'm on it, I will complete entries in the next couple of days Bakhtiyar Nazim (talk) 20:34, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

New Nations discontinued?
Anyone has some info about 'New Nations' (new-nations.net) owners? Because their website resolves a white blank (empty) page, and it looks like their project is being (or it was) discontinued. I truly don't know if their DNS (or OpenNIC's DNS) are still resolving their own TLD domains (.uu, .ti, .te, and .ku). More info about their status is needed. 186.12.32.155 (talk) 16:46, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Status of .null domain
This is labelled "active" in the table but isn't currently responding. Any other recent experience? Michaelgraaf (talk) 10:05, 12 March 2024 (UTC)


 * It does not appear to be active, but there is also no official news stating that it is inactive or discontinued. CapnPhantasm (talk) 23:33, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
