What is the proper source for a US citizen to obtain a web address? What are the limitations and advantages to various suffixes other than .com (.net, .org)?
Contact the ISP that you plan on hosting your domain about this. They probably have a preferred registrar. As far as limitations and advantages, there are no limitations (except for .gov), but the advantage is proper marketing.
.com - Commercial Site .org - Non-Profit Organization
.org is NOT just for NPO's, it is for miscellaneous organizations.
.net - Network Service Providers (ISPs, backbones) .gov - Government Agency .edu - Educational Institute
Don't also forget: .mil - Military Installations .int - International Organizations -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
