The Internet Links More

Nations than the UN!

From Albania to Zimbabwe, over 230 countries have their own top-level domains

for Internet addresses. About 180 of these actually accept registrations.

Each country has different rules and regulations that must be adhered to

for successful domain registrations. Today, the Internet links more countries

than the United Nations, which has 185 Member States.
