Why does UK, Korea, and Japan have .co as a domain instead of .com?

what the above said, every country except America uses .co\nco.eu\nco.uk\nco.jp\nco.fr\netc etc\nalthough some UK companies use com, cos its easier (unless of course they have branches all over the world)

It depends on how the server administrators have configured the service I'm afraid :)\n\nYou could use the following tip to make life a bit easier:\n\nWith the Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox browsers, pressing the Control and Enter keys simultaneously will prefix 'www' and suffix '.com' to whatever has been typed into the address box.\n\nHope this helps.

.com = commercial\n.net = not sure, maybe network\n.org = organisation\n.biz, .info = never heard of either\n.us = probably America, like .co.uk is England\n\nthink .org is the one you're after.

There are 45 million .com domains

Most people perfer .NET as .ORG implies you are an organization.  I always use .NET when a .com isn't available.

I use register.com, simply because they are very reliable, and domain propagation is very fast. If you only want a domain, then you should choose their "domain only" package.

DOT TK offers free domain hosting.  It isn't a .com address instead it is .tk  for example say your site was www.geocities.com/user, when you register with Dot TK you type in that URL.  if the domain is available you will get a .tk address like www.example.tk....you can then access the website by typing in example.tk or typing in the whole elongated form of geocities.com/user.  Hope this helps

That mumbo jumbo is there for a reason (server talk)... If you don't want to type it then just press control and enter once you have typed the name of the site you are shooting for... oh, it adds the .com on there as well.

They are sub domains. \n\nThe upper level domain is purely to find the server hosting the site. Most websites only run a single website off that domain or use a different IP to distinguish between multiple websites run from the same server. Sub domains are a way to have multiple websites off the same server(s) and not have to register a new domain and deal which IP goes with which domain. \n\nIn the case of Wikipedia the en just means you are going to the English speaking site instead of say the de.wikipidia which should be the German version of the same thing. \n\nhttp://                 \nProtocol\n\nen.\nDomainyou wish to travel too. \n\nwikipedia.org?\nTop level domain/server.

The international internet council, or whatever it's calling itself nowadays, must keep a master listing of all domain names, be they .com, .net, .whatever.  These are maintaned on special computers across the internet called nameservers and their name describes their function.\nTo find out if a name is being used, go to any domain name sales site (godaddy.com for instance) and search for a name.

it isn't international, but it is from the same root. originally there were a lot of separate computer networks, the internet was designed to tie them together. Thus "internet" means "across networks" like international means "across nations"

Unfortunately I believe Yahoo UK and Ireland comes as just one site. Much in the same way as there isn't a Yahoo site for Scotland or Wales.\nI think you can go to the Answers sites on Yahoo for the USA and Australia, but then of course the answers there are probably less relevant than those on the UK site for Ireland.

domain name is a website's URL (or dot com name)..  for example yahoo.com is the domain name for the Yahoo! Corporation.

.COM is generally used for "COMmercial" websites (i.e. Websites with something to promote or sell).  .NET is used more for internal use, networking, or when the .COM is not available.

Well not really, it is not an internet provider. It is just used for indication that website is a commerical web site.\nInternet concept was first came out from US Department of Defence. They had their internal network called ARPANET. They extended the idea to become global. So they categorized web sites like\n.gov - Government\n.com - Commerical\n.biz - Business\n.org - Organization
