There are 180'000 domains currently in RuNET. I can only assume you work for Verisign ;) Hi jf,

You can actually host any extension on any server. That site is in the US as it happens. We do work in Russia though, and yes, among the <a href="http://www.multilingual-search.com/russian-internet-has-180000-web-sites/05/10/2005/en-GB/">180'000</a> web sites currently in the RuNet, some are legitimate businesses. I know that sounds obvious, but you would be surprised at the number of people who assume all Russian sites are warez/porn/mafia related etc. I'm not saying these sites don't exist, of course they do. I'm also the first to say we need to do some house cleaning in the RuNet. Keep in mind though that anyone (US/UK) can register and host a .ru domain, not just Russians. There are normal web businesses/people here too though ;) I might add, that our .ru domain is not hosted in Russia. You can actually host any extension on any server.

They are listed here: http://www.dns.be/en/home.php?n=81&l=t This is also clearly written on our site. Tucows is the world's largest domain name wholesaler, they do not sell direct but through their network of qualified resellers. I hope that explains it for you!

I tried to register a few .be domains about half a year ago, and the Belgian registry was rather strict about having either an office in Belgium, or a registered trademark in Belgium. That's why we refrained from doing it. Interesting.
