How do custom top level domains like you can get from Neocities work? For example, corru.observer and corru.works. My understanding is that making your own domain name is really hard or expensive, and a custom TLD is harder. And i'm pretty sure Neocities is run by one guy, so surely it can't be that hard to set up a domain name as an individual.

I have no idea of the cost involved with a TLD, I just want to point out that your own domain, such as indigogollum.com is both cheap and easy.

Source: I have no idea how many domains I've had and used throughout the years. I've been able to ween myself off it, and now I'm down to 3ish
