The story of .um

ism

Posted Tuesday, 6 February 2007, 12:29 HST @895

In my previous post, I mentioned .org domain names.

Domain names are organized into a few hundred TLDs or top level domains, such as .com, .us, .gov, .eu, and various codes for individual countries.

I had never heard of the .um TLD until I saw an article about its demise in the Chronicle of Higher Education.

The .um TLD was intended for the United States’ minor outlying islands but hasn’t been used. So .um has been abolished.
