  • .edu Education (MURICA)

.edu is not only american. For example I know many schools in France have .edu domains and emails, and I believe it’s the case in many more countries.

In 2001 it was limited to US educational institutions only, all registrations prior were grandfathered in.

Although I haven’t got a clue why my non-US university, founded in 2009, has a .edu domain.

Pretty sure most countries use .ac for universities. Ac.uk, ac.au, ac.nz are all standard.
