Hello everybody! I just learned that I can get a free .eu.org domain, but I’m not sure I understand the domain creation process. Any of you has one?

I’m unsure what should I write in the “name server” section:

1000008693

    You need to host your domain somewhere, meaning some DNS provider needs to be the authority on what gets routed where when someone accesses your domain.

    The provider will give you a list of nameservers when you make the domain part of their DNS.

    I don’t know if there are any that are free (if you don’t also buy a domain from them), so you’ll have to check on your own. You can also self-host a bind9 server and do your DNS there.

      Please don’t self-host DNS. It can be exploited and abused in many ways if you don’t know what you’re doing.

      deSEC.io is free and fully featured.

      bunny.net is technically $1/mo but you don’t pay anything in months where the queries against their servers fall under a threshold. With a low use personal domain you can basically load up $10 worth of credit and coast on it for a year or more.
