Alibi Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 There's a letter in today's Scotsman asking why we can't have a .sco domain extension for Scotland instead of having to use .uk - Apparently Jersey, Guernsey, and the Isle of Man have their own unique domain extensions. I have often wondered why Scotland doesn't have one. And while we're at it, in Windows pull-down menus for country, Scotland doesn't exist - it's about time it did. An important matter when you think about it as it removes us from the .uk envelope and increases our visibility. No doubt Sick Mick will disagree as he always does, but to me it's common sense. "Any nation given the opportunity to regain its national sovereignty and which then rejects it is so far beneath contempt that it is hard to put words to it."

Kaney Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 No offence mate, but this sounds the same as all the PC sh*te. What the hell's wrong with .co.uk or .com? Do we NEED a .sco? Just makes things awkward if ye ask me... Tomorrow will be the most beautiful day of Raymond K. Hessel's life. His breakfast will taste better than any meal you and I have ever tasted.

Cet Homme Charmant Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Normally domain IDs have just two letters... so shouldn't it just be .sc ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRVMP Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Normally domain IDs have just two letters... so shouldn't it just be .sc ? Some sub-national TLDs (e.g. .cat) are obviously more than two characters, and then there's .com, .org, .biz, .info etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrumpingTon Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 actually, http://www.rudeword.sco.net/ seems to be available as well. Modesty prevents me from describing the other alternatives basically http://www.anythingyoulike.sco.net/ seems to be available, e.g. http://www.RtB_loves_Lizzie.sco.net/ (Apologies RtB, just a bit of fun) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRVMP Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Yeah, but aren't country domains two letters? Yes, but .sc is taken. God damn Seychelles Indeed, every letter in Scotland after S is already taken (i.e. .sc, .so, .st, .sl, .sa, .sn, .sd.) So, .sco may be the only one available that makes any sense. Also I just looked it up, and .cat is apparently "sponsored" and not part of the general country TLD system at all, so it's not even an exception. It's closer to .museum and .jobs than it is .es. But TLDs are changing, and eventually they're going to run out of two letter codes. Might as well make a start on 3s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
