Ask HN: What happens to a ccTLD when a country ceases to exist?

1 points by Akashic101 a month ago · 3 comments · 1 min read


This question is specifically with the country of Tuvalu in mind who use the .tv domain. Due to the threat of the rising sea level the small country is at a high risk of beeing swallowed up by the ocean by the end of the century. What will happen to domains that use their top-level domain such as Twitch?

You may want to take clues from the .io domain:

Here [1] is one discussion but there are more complete answers on search engines and AI (though too much to paste in here).
