Simply put ‘www.opennicproject.org.' is not while “org.” or the TLD alone is.

 

The issue is inconsistences in resolving the TLD alone.  The example they give is using the TLD directly for an email such as “joe@org”.  While some may resolve this fine, others will reject it due to the missing dot.

 

The term dotless is confusing and I can’t help think that that is on purpose.  It is simply the TLD.

Hi all,

Can someone please clarify what a dotless name is?

To me it seems it should be a TLDless name or simply a TLD.

All addresses as I understand it have a '.' at the end (which is added by the browser these days or not needed for some other reason), i.e. 'http://www.opennicproject.org.' so dotless makes little sense to me.

Can anyone enlighten me?

Peter
