I'm curious, what connection to Canada does a Tehran-based web development company have? http://www.cira.ca/why-ca/ca-101/who-can-register-a-ca/ http://www.cir

  I am also curious. Why do you feel the need to ask this question? Are envy because the guy made a nice tool or what?

    Off topic I think.

      Sorry, you are right :). Thanks for the plugin by the way!

        Use it buddy :) I spent all of my weekend time to built it and I just published it open-sourced.

    Not at all, I just find it odd. Having a fancy URL is great, but the restrictions in place on certain domains are there for a reason and should be respected.

  Maybe the domain is being rented from an individual who lives in Canada?

  What connection does bit.ly have to Libya?
  • davefp 14y ago
    Certain TLDs have restrictions on their use, and .ca is one of those. Many registration authorities choose to let anyone buy their domains because it's a big source of income. Libya is one of those (or always used to be. Since the revolution it's been less clear).

    Only that at one point, to purchase the rights to that domain name, they effectively paid the Ghaddafi regime a small amount of money, and that they run a popular service that at any time could be hijacked by the current regime in Libya.
