Er, a quick look suggests that the links are to the over-seeing bodies over the different national domain registration processes, rather than general registrars for buying domains for each ccTLD.

So a great reference piece, but does it have any real use outside of curiosity value?

Good point however it was tough to "single out" a specific ccTLD domain registrar and give them my "thumbs up." This give anyone the resource to find a specific provider and go from there. Thanks for the comment.

We actually provide over 140 extensions at e3internet, which gives us one of the largest portfolios available. I have another 10 to add shortly as I've been organising connections with several East European Registries.

I'm happy to give any fellow Sphinners a discount code, just send me a PM through here or Twitter.

It does help to go through a Registrar rather than the Registry in some cases, as the sites/support are in another language and you may need guidence on specific regulations. For example, a RU domain registered for an individual requires a passport number but as a company, this is not needed.

Hey Adam, FF (3.0B5) is listing your site as an "attack site" and blocking it atm? Google's showing the warnings too.

@Nick - we had an issue with our host, they had a virus attack on their box... we've since moved. It is fixed but Google hasn't removed the warning even though we have submitted a request through Webmaster Central

I've heard it's also sensible to submit a re-check request direct to StopBadWare.org
