Default Re: Physical Location Of Server & Search Results

Seems that some people still think .com is a US extension?

.com, .net, .org are international TLD's not country specific.

The original idea (purpose) behind them was as follows: .com was for commercial use, .net was for companies whose business was about Networking the Internet etc., and .org was for Not-for-profit organizations... as .edu was for educational facilities (non-us and us alike), .gov is US government too, they kinda took that one lol.

the equivalent to a .co.uk, .ca, .au etc in the US is .us.
