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:

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.
Seconded
One of these is DNS reflection, a type of amplification DDoS I found out about several years ago… You send a tiny packet to a DNS server requesting a domain with long records, but tell the DNS server to send the response to another address. Pretty interesting and amusing imo, but probably not if you’re on the receiving end of one lol
Isn’t that mainly a problem with recursive DNS servers? The authoritative servers are only aware of the few domains they’re hosting.
“If you do everything perfectly you won’t have security problems.”
But people make mistakes. Human error and misconfigured servers is the cause of many security flaws. Especially people asking “what should I provide for DNS on this domain registration form?”
DNS services are dirt cheap. Hosting yourself requires some knowledge to run security, and you need a static IP address to host one which many people don’t have.
Best not to do it yourself.
Do either of the options you mentioned provide custom nameservers? As in, the ability for ns01.yourdomain.com to resolve to your account on their DNS servers?
Do you mean NS records? Yes, they both let you add and edit them.
