Edited: dominios.es/en the registry for .es of Spain and tonic.to the registry for .to of Tonga still allow direct registration under them but like I’ve mentioned before, if to use either you’re now limited to .es, and .to

Using a country TLD might not be the best idea: Are some TLDs less reliable than others? - #3 by jonah
