Hi,

In that regard, .zip and .mov TLDs exist, where .zip is used on 
compressed files, and .mov is used for movie files. I also think both 
those domains and any extension that uses defacto or common file 
extensions are generally not safe; however, .o is already an established 
TLD in OpenNIC.
Sources: https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/zip.html and 
https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/mov.html

It seems the DNS server that is responsible for the .o TLD is down. I 
would like to volunteer to operate a Tier 2 DNS, but I haven't hosted a 
Tier-2 DNS before, and even if I could host one, I think it should be 2 
different servers, different datacenters, and different countries, and I 
don't have the funds to host 2 servers in different countries. Any 
hosting outside of my country (don't be fooled by this domain ccTLD, I'm 
not from Greenland) is pretty expensive due to currency conversion to 
USD or EUR. It is clear that I don't meet the requirements to host a 
Tier 2 DNS for a TLD.

Best Regards,
