.VI domains


Recommended Posts

nice one :thumbup: However don't you need to have some affiliation with that country?

Well, "that country", at least to an extent, is part of the US, so I think you should be covered.

Besides, many countries (with useful extensions like .tv or .to) allow outside companies to buy their domain names. I think you can even get a European Union (.eu) domain without being a European citizen.

I THINK some countries have a requirement that the domain must be hosted in country. Example YOURDOMAIN.co.th (Thailand domain) must resolve to a server located within the borders of Thailand. Otherwise, they can't enforce laws (porn, political, etc). Don't know about the Virgin Islands.

How about a domain name like "openg.vi" ?

My bad. I'm still getting used to the fact that I'm in the US now. Since 3/4 of my family is still in Canada (I miss them very much), there's a strong pull in that direction...

As far as the LabVIEW domain in other countries, I think the biggest issue would be the LabVIEW trademark rights. NI's lawyers would love that. The laws pertaining to domain registration differ from country to country. Some countries require you to be a citizen of that country (for personal domains) or have a business that operates in that country. I know this is true for some (read the fine print).
