since .com/.net/.org are controlled by US companies, is the next step (for blogs/sites such as these) to move to .ru? or some other company not controlled by US

- Raphael 16y agoBingo.
- alphabeat 16y agoHow does this work with ICANN being an American organisation controlling the . server?
- wmf 16y agoICANN can shut down all of a ccTLD or none of it; such a penalty is too large to ever use.
- andre 16y agoif you're going for a non com/net/org domain, I'm assuming you'd have to register it with a company that's not US based too, so no ordering .nl domains through Godaddy, cause that can still cause problems.
- gst 16y agoThere's no reason to use GoDaddy - there are plenty of other registrars. I never understood why GoDaddy has some form of monopolly in the US. Personally I use Domaindiscount24 (based in Germany) for my domains.
- ElbertF 16y agoIronically some have moved to China (.hk) for their internet freedom.
- gasull 16y agoNB: .hk is TLD for Hong Kong SAR (Special Administrative Region). While .cn is TLD for mainland China.
