My experience is many people use Mozilla's public suffix list for allowing folks to create resources on their app services. This is because a large number of TLDs don't support creating records directly off of them, and the 3rd parties don't want to accidentally grant ownership to a higher namespace to an individual. For example, .uk is a TLD, but you shouldn't let people regirester apps under that because someone could cleverly take co.uk and create sub apps within that that they didn't own.
