I’m making a new website and want to use a .ch or .org TLD.

I’m located in the U.S., and obviously concerned about our dictatorship.

Questions:

  1. Is .org protected enough?

  2. If I get a .ch, will it still show up in google searches for my community?

Thank you. This is my first time doing this. I don’t have my own server to host from (not sure that’s relevant?).

    Your domain name could be ordered to be removed from US-based dns providers, no matter which TLD it is. That would essentially block your website from most US-based viewers without actually shutting down your hosting. Advanced users could still get to it, though. Consider hosting through Tor and a .onion address for more resiliency.
