When searching for a new domain name, what are the meanings of the following designations:?

.info


.ws


.bz


.de


.eu





Or maybe a better question would be what are the parameters for using the above.


(ie: for using .com, you need to be a commercial entity. For .gov, you need to be a government entity, etc.)

When searching for a new domain name, what are the meanings of the following designations:?
You are not completely correct. Anyone can register a dot com. Some of the others are country specific, such as .ca is only available to Canadian citizens, and .de is I believe only available to German citizens, and .uk to British, etc. Log onto a hosting site to find answers to the others.
Reply:I'm not sure of all of them, but





.eu is Europe


.de is Deutchland (Germany)


.bz is (I think) Brazil


.ca is of course Canada!


.edu is education


.org You must be a registered organization (charity or gov't)


.ws no idea


.info... well seems obvious... but don't know the perameters... might be something like .org... but with looser restrictions?
