      Yes. Other common ones include .fm for Federated states of Micronesia, .io for British Indian Ocean Territories and .ai for Anguilla.
      .be, of youtu.be, is Belgium.

        Back in the days bit.ly was a quite popular link shortener (it’s still a link shortener) and when shit went down in Lybia gadda.fi (or some other spelling don’t remember) plopped up as a novelty shortener to protest against using just any country TLD for random internet domains. .fi should be fine, it’s Finland.

        Interesting. I wonder if that has anything to do with why some companies started dumping them for regular TLDs.
