The io domain is becoming more and more frequent and in demand among clients.
More than one person in recent years will have seen that there is a popular domain on the internet that we can find by a certain frequency. Beyond the .com, .es, or .net, we find a domain that is increasingly sought after, the .io, which has more and more weight among companies and startups because they find more domains available under this hosting. However, many people ignore its origin, which takes place in the British Indian Ocean Territory, in English Indian Ocean, initials IO.
Many times it has been alluded to the origins of .io to commands like imput-output or even to Internet Organization, but in reality, it is a domain initially targeted at a territory that barely has 4,000 inhabitants. The existing domains with .io are quite far from these figures, since the latest figures estimate that on the Internet there are up to 700,000 domains that currently have .io hosting, showing that has a great popularity in modern times.
And where does the .io controversy come from? Well, that geographic region, known as the Chagos archipelago, has long been protesting against British colonialism that they continue to practice today. In fact, the exploitation of this domain is at a rather complicated point in these actions by the United Kingdom. The people of Chagos have long been trying to reclaim the islands for their inhabitants and that would mean that this domain would become part of this hypothetical new State. Anyway, this litigation still does not have a clear outcome.
Of course, we often come across the strangest relationships, like this one that connect colonialism with one of the trendiest digital domains currently. While waiting for a solution that benefits both parties, the people of Chagos remain at the foot of their demands. Of course, if the Chagossian demand prospers, A good part of the fortune of this domain would correspond to them, something that would provide a lot of wealth to this region.
