Isn't the .com designation a special case? I know it's generally attributed to the US but it was this way because it was the first domain. Or am I wrong in this assumption?
Even if it was *meant* that the domain be hosted in the country that the TLD specify, I don't see any way to prevent anyone from hosting whatever TLD where ever they see fit. The beauty of DNS.... Getting a TLD from a different country registered in your name, there's some room for complicating things. But if I buy a .co.za here, I can take it anywhere I wish. A large number of South African companies are hosting their websites in the US and UK, because bandwidth is so much cheaper. Hans
