I don't think the relevance of the TLD matters. It's worth being aware of whether you're using a ccTLD, especially in the case of countries like Afghanistan, but you also used
.io
as an example which is overwhelmingly used by non-British Indian Ocean Territory sites and is proven reliable. It's even managed by an American company.Then
.app
isn't a part of the original TLDs, but actually a part of the new wave of modern gTLDs. And if you're considering.app
, there's no reason not to consider the thousands of other generic TLDs out there.Like with the ccTLDs, the only thing you have to consider is the trustworthiness of the managing org.
The
.io
TLD has been the subject of controversy for a number of years despite (or because it is?) being hijacked by tech.EDIT: More about it
