  • dyndns questions

    From Mike Powell@1:2320/105 to All on Thursday, March 10, 2005 20:30:00
    I was going to sign up for a dyndns site, mostly for telnet bbsing.
    I noticed the large number of potential domains they offer. I thought it
    might be good to get a shorter name, which would fit better into network taglines.

    However, I am wondering what country some of the shorter names "indicate." There is an "ath.cx" and a "mine.nu," for starters. Is there a site that
    will tell you where .cx and .nu are supposed to be assigned, geographically?

    taglines?? do you mean origin lines?? taglines start with three dots, TTBOMK...

    those are standard country codes... i forget which ISOwhatever they are listed in... 9660 maybe??

    [time passes]

    i just consulted one of my webserver stats tools and they reference ISO 3166 and state that an official listing can be found at http://www.iana.org/cctld/cctld-whois.htm
