.xxx and the Domain Name System

by billso on Friday, 23 March 2007

On Feb­ru­ary 6, I posted two arti­cles about the Domain Name Sys­tem (DNS). As the debate con­tin­ues over a pro­posed .xxx TLD (top level domain), I found another arti­cle that includes a good descrip­tion of what the domain name sys­tem actu­ally does

The .xx TLD is a good idea. While some argue that adult con­tent web sites will reg­is­ter and keep the .com and .xxx ver­sion of their domain names, it’s much eas­ier to explain to a cor­po­rate or gov­ern­ment user that any ser­vice .xxx domain name is for­bid­den ter­ri­tory on their work com­puter. This may be one rea­son why many adult con­tent providers do not sup­port the .xxx proposal.
