Hi there, I’m currently looking into renting a domain from cloudflare for convenient access to my hosted services from outside my home. It seems some of the cheapest options for the domain name I want to use are country TLDs (.uk, .us). Does this bind me to their laws in any way? can anyone come at me for hosting (e.g. Illegally downloaded content) on their TLD?

Regardless, is there any reason I shouldn’t use cloudflare for this? any drawbacks I should be aware of?

Edit: I should mention I’m currently using duckdns for free and the reason I want to move is that it seems some organizations (like my university and workplace) block duckdns (for reasons beyond me).

Edit 2: So to my understanding there’s not a big one, but some risk involved, so I think I’ll pay a bit more for a non-ccTLD. Thanks everyone!

    Google literally (for whatever reason) flagged my domain or subdomain as malicious.
    On the subdomain I noticed it, I am running regular Jellyfin and that is hidden behind a 2FA middleware.
    I reported it and it got removed but that was interesting.

      Had a similar issue with Google flagging my subdomains as malicious, even though they are only used inside my network and not even reachable (much less resolvable) outside. Ive submitted multiple times and it has come back several times 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️
