Country-level top domains Control over some country-level top domains has been ceded, either permanently or under contract, to various commercial organizations around the world. Many of these organizations don't exactly go out of their way to advertise the local origin of their domain names.
A prime example of this practice is the .tv top domain. While a perfectly legitimate top domain, it was in fact originally the top level domain reserved for the small Pacific island nation of Tuvalu. Country-level Top Domains by 101Domainname.us |
