It is interesting that when registering a business in Rwanda, there is <br>
information and a link to obtain a .rw domain name:<br>
<a href="https://org.rdb.rw/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://org.rdb.rw/</a><br>
<br>
Internationalized domain names are becoming quite useful, for example:<br>
.сайт<br>
.संगठन<br>
.健康<br>
<br>
It would be great to have<br>
.biashara<br>
.kampuni<br>
possibly even<br>
.serikali<br>
Though it is unclear if this should be for Kenya, Tanzania or the East <br>
African community. Perhaps taking the following example from a <br>
particular American website:<br>
<br>
"An official website of the United States government<br>
Dot gov<br>
<br>
The .gov means it’s official.<br>
Federal government websites often end in .gov or .mil. Before sharing <br>
sensitive information, make sure you’re on a federal government site.<br>
Https<br>
<br>
The site is secure.<br>
The https:// ensures that you are connecting to the official website and <br>
that any information you provide is encrypted and transmitted securely."<br>
<br>
<br>
First come first served! As an example, we have<br>
<a href="https://www.hudumacentre.co.ke/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.hudumacentre.co.ke/</a><br>
and<br>
<a href="https://www.hudumakenya.go.ke/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.hudumakenya.go.ke/</a><br>
