Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: E-mail Account Verification

Hi :)
Some of this is probably obvious but some of it might not be.  Each country
(except the US) has a different code at the end of addresses, so you get;

In the Uk ...
www.wonderfulwebsite.org.uk  = charitable
www.wonderfulwebsite.co.uk   = business that aims to make money
www.wonderfulwebsite.gov.uk  = government, local councils, etc

In Russia ...
www.wonderfulwebsite.org.ru
www.wonderfulwebsite.co.ru
www.wonderfulwebsite.gov.ru
(except they use different codes instead of .org, .gov and .co and probably
the whole of it using a different alphabet too).

Really vast charities or businesses also use the ...

www.wonderfulwebsite.org
www.wonderfulwebsite.com

Of course anyone can buy whatever type of ending they like and use it
anywhere.  There is not much restriction on it - so a small charity might
buy a ".co.uk" address instead of ".org.uk" in order to "look more
professional" and businesses might buy a ".org" or ".org.uk" in order to
look like they are doing good in the world.  Many organisations try to
buy-up all the ones so that people only have to remember the
"wonderfulwebsite" bit

Regards from
Tom :)
