You are not going to want to buy a .hn domain right now, because as is possible with all ccTLDs, the government can change and then change the rules.

After the coup two months ago, the new Honduran regime has directed nic.hn to cease all new registrations and hand over all registration database information to the new government.

You can read the official LACTLD position on this recent development here:

DNS should really start supporting the ! character. Maybe as an alternative for .

This is my new favorite method for bookmarking

    174.132.255.106    hn
Now I just have to write a start that runs at boot to convert a "www.google.com g" file into "64.233.169.147 g"

Neat

Funny how all the content on their official Honduran website is scraped straight from an old version of the CIA World Factbook entry for their country.

In those parts of the world, the CIA knows more about the country than the locals, both citizens and government.

All you need to do is wait a little while for ICANN to support custom TLDs then convince PG to spend a hundred grand and all your dreams could come true (or at least the one).

You could save a lot of money, by just asking PG to write a declaration of independence...

Anyone want the.hn? I'm feeling bored with it, and it's about to expire
Re:.hn top level domain by Oompa on Wednesday September 30, 2009 @11:32AM (#852616)
Use it to point to HN.
Re:.hn top level domain by vegai on Thursday October 01, 2009 @01:50AM (#854395)
