Funny how wiki.vg is the only "wiki" domain with the ".vg" TLD...

...and it's a Minecraft-related thingy.  tongue  XD

Anyone come across generic domains (possibly on weird TLDs (top-level domains, AKA things like .com)) whose aim doesn't completely stick to their domain name?


Yawn.

I once saw a commercial pharmaceutical website with .edu as it's domain. I thought that was really weird.

Isn't the government going to allow tons of domain suffix things now?

Eh, weird maybe, but I think I know why. You see, .edu websites gets indexed by search engines faster than .com ones. What a way to take SEO power to the max.  tongue

My website's domain is .tk, but it's not all that very strange... And it's free.

Can you add your own files so you can actually code your website?
