desi-domain

The region called South Asia is a part of the Asian continent. This region is separated from the rest of the Asian continent by the mountains in the northwest, and also in the north and northeast. The region is also known as the fore India, although there is also overlap with the Middle East. The region, known as South Asia, is home to about 25 percent of the world's population, or about 1.3 billion people. The people from this region somehow feel that they belong to each other, and some of them also share a common culture and the ability to publish websites under a common top-level domain. Namely under .desi.

Allocation

.desi is a top-level domain that was originally applied for by Afilias Inc. and Desi Networks LLC. This domain extension was launched in 2014 and is possible via Desi Networks LLC. The term is derived from Sanskrit desiya. Translated, it means "one from our country". The domain extension is intended for interested parties from the Indian subcontinent and people who are culturally attached to India or South Asia. This concerns both the culture, the religion and also the eating habits. In other words, anything that is South Asian can be published on websites with this domain extension. It is desirable that the websites presented under this domain extension really have something to do with Asia or India.

Use and meaning

With the allocation it is not paid attention to the fact that only domains with a connection into the appropriate also made possible a Domainendung with .desi to register. A major role is played here by the fact that companies and private individuals can register such a domain for themselves. A domicile or a company headquarters in the region is not required for this. However, it is important that the content of the website has a connection to this region. This also makes a lot of sense, since .desi otherwise has no further meaning.
