Having a domain name and website for your project is great. You don't want to own the entire online identity of your project.

But you should stay away from the .io TLD:

  1. It's a country TLD that's disputed, and while it may not go anywhere…
  2. It's getting more and more expensive, which for projects is a problem.

The best TLD for FOSS projects is probably the .org TLD.
Or, if stuck on .io, at least pre-pay it for years in advance.

@alexelcu there's also the neutral and cheap .xyz domain intended to be used for most things people use .com. Have seen it used in some places. Ar least I'm not currently aware of problems with it.

> One surprising side effect of having a .xyz domain is that the mere inclusion of .xyz inside of a text message will result in a silent delivery failure for many providers.
