.net, .com, .org, .co.uk ?

Question

I know .co.uk is from UK but what do all the others mean, if I was looking for a UK forum would the address end with .co.uk or not necessarily.

Answer 1

well it depends. if you put the forum then "uk" after it in google it should come up with uk ones and sometimes they have a choice of country on websites.

.org means its an orginisation. normally 3rd party websites.

.com is normally american websites but can be uk sometimes, for example play.com is a uk website.

Hope i helped

Answer 2

A list of all top level domains (.net .com etc) is found here http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/ops/ds/repo...

Basically

.net is Networks

.com is Companies

.org is organisations

.co.uk is uk based.

Its all mixed up these days as you can buy a domain from most places in the world.

.co.uk should give you a good indication though.

Good Luck
