Domain without dot (http://uz)
12 comments
Thanks, this is a good URL to use for a quick test if you have an internet connection, e.g. "traceroute uz" or "ping uz"
(On my Mac, you can type just "uz" in Firefox but in Safari you need "uz/")

Better is to "ping uz.". Otherwise you'll trigger a lookup in the local domain, which might take some time to fail.
Can try http://91.212.89.8 if uz/ is not working for you.

Can't get it to work on my phone. Safari coming up with cannot be opened as the server cannot be found. Will be interesting to see if I can get it to resolve on another device or connection.
Have tried on my Mac with the same wifi connection, using Chrome and http://uz/ loaded up fine (Safari worked too).
An iOS issue?

my company proxy doesn't allow me to see the page, maybe they use the same regex as HN :-/
Can anyone explain how this works?
There is nothing magical in the TLD (top level domains). They're domain names just like the others.
It just happens that in general, no A record is created for them. An A record has been created for the uz. TLD. That's all there is to it.

yup, this ^ and I have a feelling a lot of these new gTLD's are going to be doing this
(HN doesn't allow to post url without dot. that's why I add as a text)
