well current practice seems to be to declare yourself the legitimate root authority and go out and set them up however for the rest of us who either like the internet to continue to function in a predictable manner or are mere mortals not worthy of declaring ourselves root the answer is you cant setup new TLDs, that is done by the internet naming authority - icann Steve On Thu, 14 Nov 2002, Gawie Marais (Home) wrote:
Helo,
Might be a simple question.... But... I've got no idea what the answer could be...
In the early days, one only had a .com address space (amongst the most popular ones). These days, there is .com(this) and .com(that) and any kind of .(whatever) you can think of.
My question...
How does one start a .(whatever) ?? Who is actually controlling these .(whatever) domains ?
