Out of interest: what sort of troubles has it given? (if you're able to say)

- Corporate firewalls don’t like people visiting .so Somalia URLs. Wouldn’t have this problem with .com. We had to fight hard for domain reputation.

- Back in the day communication between us, our registrar, a middleman registrar in Germany, and SomaliNIC wasn’t too good. We weren’t notified of a takedown report and got DNS blocked by a bunch of ISPs offline for 8 hours. Even figuring out what happened on that one was baffling.

My domain uses an Afghanistan (.af) domain. They actually froze new registrations after the Kabul takeover.
