How popular .eu domain is in your country?
I'm surprised there are as many as those stats show in the UK. I've certainly never encountered any personally. Interesting chart! I did notice in my time in Lithuania that there are a few users of .eu instead of .lt. More on reddit.com

Google Domains is not available in my country. Next best choice is?

Domain registration does not impact the speed of the website. Location of hosting provider does. Hosting provider and domain registrar do not have to be the same.

How to register a domain in another country?
You don't have to register your domain under a specific country if it's a regular TLD domain like .com, so go ahead and register it. The contact information is just contact information, the domain isn't registered to a specific region, it's registered with ICANN globally. You can put whatever country or address you want. Also a lot of registrars will automatically or optionally hide the contact info and put their generic email and address (which forwards to you if you need it). There are country based TLDs like .co.jp for Japan, .us for United States, or .is for Iceland. These might have their own specific requirements to register, like proving you are a citizen or have an address in that country. You'll have to figure out the requirements since they vary by country or region. More on reddit.com

Best country to register a domain?
What exactly are you trying to protect from? You should be aware that independently of where you buy the domain, the registry of your domain's TLD may be in another country. For example, the .com and .net registries are managed by Verisign, a US company, regardless of which registrar you use. The registrar just adds your domain to the registry on your behalf. All accredited registrars are also subject to ICANN rules, which e.g. state that the registrar needs to run basic verification of the contact information you provide. Also, "proximity of fiber cables" does not matter at all. Authoritative DNS servers for your domain can run anywhere (and good DNS providers have many points of presence around the world).

3 days ago - There may be a local-presence requirement (for instance, citizenship or other connection to the ccTLD), as, for example, the American (us), Japanese (jp), Canadian (ca), French (fr) and German (de) domains, or registration may be open. The first registered ccTLD was .us, which was registered in 1985. Later ccTLDs registered in that year included .uk and .il. Then, .au, .de, .fi, .fr, .is, .jp, .kr, .nl and .se were also registered in 1986. In 1987, .nz, .ch, .my and .ca were registered. Later on, in 1988, .ie, .it, .es and .pt were also registered. As of 20 May 2017, there were 255 country-code top-level domains, purely in the Latin alphabet, using two-character codes.

ccTLDs | List of country code top-level domains - IONOS
December 12, 2023 - Every internet address, or domain, has a domain ending, also known as a top-level domain. Country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) are used to indicate the site’s relation to a specific country or region (i.e. .uk for the United Kingdom or .eu for the European Union) and are therefore referred to as country code TLDs.

In theory, any fully qualified domain name is supposed to end with a . - this is in the original RFC but ignored for practical reasons. You could also set a server to point at a TLD, but this isn't typically done.

So to do this, you'd need to own your own TLD - Its plausible but unlikely - icann lets organisations run such TLDs but you'd need to prove that you are capable of running a registar, and some other requirements. "I want a cool 2 letter tld" is not a good reason . Alternately you'd need a ccTLD, and control the root of that, either by being the official registar, or perhaps by overthrowing the current government without causing international incidents.

So, a two letter domain at a dot at the end is plausible but its unlikely an individual can have it.

However feel free to end your own domain with a dot, and amuse and astound your friends.

Some detective work about http://to./ (or http://to) :

  • The Online Url-IP Converter converts it to the IP address of 216.74.32.107, and so does ping to. on my computer. For verification, entering http://216.74.32.107/ in the browser shows the same website.
  • The IP address 216.74.32.107 is mapped by MYIP.MS to the USA company Wcp/32Points Intermediate Holding Company, INC, with this information :

  • This company hosts 584 sites (via DNS), divided among 21 top-level domains. Their list is given in the above MYIP.MS link. This means that each of the 21 domains of format like abc.com has about 28 sub-domains like xxx.abc.com, meaning 21 quite complex websites.

  • ARIN Whois says this company owns the IP range of 216.74.0.0 - 216.74.63.255, which is a modest chunk of 16320 addresses.

  • The company website is given as www.breedworks.biz but there is nothing at this address (domain for sale).

Conclusion : This is a small hosting company which probably manages its own DNS records.

My very private opinion :

This is not a domain, but a glitch in the DNS records of a hosting company. In other words - a bug that has gone unobserved, until the poster happened (probably) to mistype an HTTP address.

This DNS seems to point to an empty website using IIS, probably never used and so this DNS error was never discovered.

I have not found any way of informing this company of their DNS error, except perhaps by letter or phone call (which I have no intention of doing).
