"Earlier this year GoDaddy won the rights to distribute domains under the extension .me, which belongs to the country of Montenegro."

Blast! I thought it meant "me" as in "myself" and that it was meant for personal pages and such... I didn't see Montenegro mentionned anywhere, in fact namecheap says .me is for personal pages...

I wondered why the heck I hadn't heard of .me before today, now I know.

So .me is officially for Montenegro but is a new de-facto "standard" for personal pages? Or I've been mostly conned out of 80$ (2 domains)?

edit: I'll still put those domains to good use eventually. One domain for me, one for my company, one for each of my projects. Perfect!



I don't really see a difference. No one seems to mind that ".tv" stands for Tuvalu and not Television.


"conned out of" was perhaps too extreme an expression, I should have researched this before rushing to register those domains.


what are you talking about man? how does that matter at all?
