Think Before You Post


Crossword -- Computer Vocabulary


.ca      (10 across)      This is called the  (top-level) domain name.
.com   (20 down)
.edu    (2 across)
.gov    (21 across)
.org     (15 down)
.uk    

Most American servers use three-letter top level domains (e.g. ".com", ".edu"). Countries other than the USA commonly use two letters, or combinations of two letters (e.g. ".au", ".ca", ".co", ".jp").
