There isn't any specific requirement for a TLD, other than it should
clash with an existing domain.
Personally I tend to use the name of the company or network owner; ie at
home I use ".Diskworld" - nowhere does it say there has to be anything
after that. In your case I'd suggest using ".bytemeit".
