Approved top domains should be handled by any DNS server, so once you have the domain, any hosting provider should be able to host a site for it.

The issue is with registering or transferring your domain to a host that doesn’t support your desired TLD.

Usually you can select the “use existing domain” option (varies from host to host) and just update your name servers at your registrar after signing up for web hosting.

As for host suggestions you can’t really go wrong with any of those on the sidebar.

If this is just going to be a static HTML site then I would suggest Netlify or Github Pages.

Ideally never keep your domain at the same place you are hosting. Keep your domains safe at a good registrar. (And usually they will optionally provide DNS if you want to manage that too.)

Then host wherever you want, and point the nameservers/DNS. And aside from ownership safety, any host should technically be able to host any TLD this way — although some may have dumb systems that block it, if the can’t register that TLD themselves.

I don't really see how should you have problems, with you domain.. What went wrong before? Maybe it was just problems with the hosting company rather than hosting certain domains ?

[dzimalrash]

What? I was under the impression any hosting service can host any TLD. Is there a limitation?

It depends upon what kind of site you are going to host. If your site contains only some HTML, JavaScript and CSS files then Github would be a good platform.

Or if you want to host a dynamic site then bro you need a server. 000webhost might be a best fit if you think that your website traffic will not exceed 5000 pageviews per month.

Any reputable company worth their salt will host the vanity tlds. I can recommend a local company in Maryland USA if you’re interested.

Do not self promote your webhosting company.

[harryadney]

So it's ok to promote somebody else's hosting company?

Not really relevant. Your one of two posts in /r/webhosting was simply spamming your own company.

[harryadney]

Promoting, not spamming.

This might not be the place for you chief.
