slightly off topic, but can you get other top level domains, if you are not in that specified country?

Example - if I wanted to start up a fan site for a german band. I live in the US. Would I be able to register a .de domain ?


And I too, would be interested in finding a registar that did other top level domains.

I do konw for fact for a person to own a .de TLD they have to reside or have a agent in Germany.... There are registars out there that offer their services, I however would like to have a recommendation if anyone has one ...

You also have to be a US citizen to own a .us domain and i will guarantee that not all .us are owned by US citizens or companies.

I'll post a request at a different forum I go to and see what turns up.

Anybody know if I gotta live in Turkey for a .TC ?
Same for a French .FR, Belgium .BE, and Netherland's .NL

http://www.iana.org/cctld/cctld-whois.htm That has every TLD and if you click it tells you where to register it.

Info for .US names

Oz,

I thought only US citizens could own a US name, so I asked Neustar the .US name registrar. The following is direct from them, and no, I was not able to get the .US name I wanted from a French organization... - Fran

"To answer your question, the .US domain space is not restricted to just residents of the United States. Anyone can register .US names as long as the registrant qualify under our Nexus requirements.
Please go to http://www.neustar.us/policies/docs/...quirements.pdf to view the requirements."

Basically, each country sets its own rules and many of these are much more stringent than .com or .net domains.
As an example, if you want a slovenian domain (.si) you have to be a registered company there and can only register your company name, not the name of your product or else...
Sometimes there is a workaround: in Italy you have to be an EU citizen to register any number of .it domains with any name you like (except some expressly reserved to the Powers that Be, like city or region names and such), but any EU company can register domains on account of its customers, wherever they happen to come from. I didn't check the other EU countries, but I believe it's more or less the same.

Should check out shell providers (IRC) they use just about every possible domain.

One of the shell providers I use (eggies/bnc) has the *.gg domain name. (e.gg) *.be, *.ca, ect...
