TLDs,a solution to a problem nobody has.
It's just a programmers solution to a programmers problem.
The only reason .com even matters is because it got ingrained in people's minds early on.
You could drop all TLDs tomorrow and nobody would care.
- iFreilicht 6y agoWhat was the problem, then? I thought the idea of TLDs initially was to separate domains between countries so they could manage them themselves and create less collisions between local registrars?
- JdeBP 6y agoRFC 882 explains it in detail, and contrary to what M. waheoo says it is a problem that many people have. One can find analogues to it in many fields, such as why there isn't a single telephone directory book that covers the entire world.
- CydeWeys 6y ago> You could drop all TLDs tomorrow and nobody would care. Huh? That would cause all domain names to stop working. People would certainly care! Can you expand on what you mean by "drop all TLDs" and how all of the existing Web content and links therein would continue to work if this were done?
