Is .nl the first ccTLD? edit

Latest comment: 10 years ago4 comments4 people in discussion

http://www.iana.org/root-whois/us.htm and http://www.iana.org/root-whois/uk.htm appear to have existed since 1985, .nl was 1986? --66.102.80.239 23:25, 22 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Well, the text says that it was the first ccTLD to be ever registered, that could be true even though .us and .uk were 'introduced' earlier. Uhro87 (talk) 21:12, 22 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

The .uk domain is not a ccTLD according to RFC 1591 since it required all ccTLDs to use the ISO-3166 country codes, according to ISO-3166 the correct ccTLD for the United Kingdom is .gb. .gb was also introduced before .nl but can no longer be registered, so that makes .nl the first non-US ccTLD in active use that completely complies to RFC 1591.

The SIDN site states "Daarmee was .nl het eerste actieve landendomein buiten de Verenigde Staten. " Which means Armada651 is right and .nl was the first active non-US ccTLD.94.210.188.233 (talk) 08:58, 26 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

co.nl edit

Removed the .co.nl link from external links as it has no mention in the article and .co.nl is not an official extension. It is a sub-domain operated by EuroDNS, so the link can be considered spam.

I believe .co.nl should be mentioned in the arcticle, as many might want to know what it is. I came here looking for information on it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.74.191.229 (talk) 00:09, 7 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
