People and companies can now register in other domains than .COM. Why would a company want a .COM domain when they can have something more expressive ?
Because when users on 99% of the internet send mail to them, it will work. As opposed to when they send mail to you, and get back this confusing message telling them that the domain name "unir.corp" cannot be found, and that their mail cannot be delivered. It seems to me that that would only express to the consumer that the business they're trying to contact doesn't know how to connect to the internet. Luckily, no one that I support has come to me asking why they can't access a domain outside of the traditional TLDs. They'd probably just think it was a typo anyways. -SteveK -- Steve Kann i/o 360 digital design 841 Broadway, Suite 502 Personal:stevek () SteveK COM (finger for PGP) Business:stevek () io360 com I don't want your product or service, and I don't want to make money fast, so please don't send me your junk mail telling me about any of it. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
