CentralNic was established in 1995 as an independent global domain name registry committed to making it easier for Internet users to establish new and distinctive domain names with regional and country-specific identities. Headquartered in London, CentralNic currently has a portfolio of more than 18 domain names available to users worldwide, including EU.COM (Europe), UK.COM (United Kingdom), US.COM, (United States), CN.COM (China) and RU.COM (Russia). Additional domain names are regularly added to this portfolio. Top Level Domain names such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG are used by companies and non-profit organizations to identify themselves on the Internet, and each country in the world has its own Country Code TLD, such as .UK for the United Kingdom and .DE for Germany.
