Neo Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Makes Germany and others like it look like the smartest internet countries. They didn't bother with the "dot" alphabet soup. Everything is .de. No .com's, .net's, .biz's, .edu's, .mil's, etc. Who needs .eu's .asia's, .africa's? Just confuses the average joe. If every country was like Germany it would be so much easier to find things. How nice would it be to visit simply bbc.uk? But ultimately all the confusing jumble of extensions are great for search engines like google and the registrars profits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fidel Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Oops. just posted this in the news section. Tried to register a couple of domain names, just for the hell of it. If registration fails, there's no charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
