I have a penchant for purchasing domain names. I currently have at least 30, most of which remain unused. This evening I decided to monkey around with domain names ending with .ME – which allows tons of self-centered permutations. As you may know, nearly all the top domain names are owned by various governments and in the case of .ME it’s the government of Montenegro. This simple registration process provides a nearly constant revenue stream for the government.
On the .ME website there is a list of accredited domain name registrars:

Due to so many people knowing what GoDaddy.com is, there are at least 5 other copy cats:
+ Go China Domains, Inc.
+ Go Daddy, Inc.
+ Go Montenegro Domains
+ Go France, Inc.
+ Go Canada, Inc.
+ Go Austrailia, Inc.
