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:

1000008693

    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.
