We know, the most common types of domain name include: dot com, dot net and dot org. Others are info, mobi, tv and so on. They are common for they are general domain names in the world.

And besides, There are national domains in all countries. For example, del.icio.us belong to USA, china.cn belong to China. I think USA and China are great nations, so their domains are known well enough.

But today, I found some domains very interesting, I don’t know their countries, and when I openned their websites, I can not understand their languages too.

http://www.softcatala.cat - This domain really cool I think, I like cat, so I like this type of domain much. But I don’t know its language. When I tried whois it, it returns an error message: No whois server is known for this kind of object. Wikipedia told me that softcatala is a non-profit organization that works for Catalan language. Catalan language? I never heart it before.

http://hunted.pl - Another cool national domain, because pl is the ext name of perl codes, so I code in Perl often, the domain name sounds like a program in Perl. As like as softcatala.cat, these national domains are really seldom in China. they are new to me today.

http://liberal.cl - This is an English website, I can understand its language. But the CL stands for which country? These national domains baffle me for a whole day, the most puzzle is that why there is no echo when I whois them :(
