Your .pn link doesn't work for me without www part.

At least for https://www.fi/ the case is that someone registered "www" as the domain name in the early days.



Hmm, I guess the current browsers simply don't like such domain and automatically put www. At the very least, the Google DNS gives the following:

    ai. 209.59.119.34
    cm. 195.24.205.60
    dk. 193.163.102.58
    gg. 87.117.196.80
    je. 87.117.196.80
    pn. 80.68.93.100
    tk. 217.119.57.22
    uz. 91.212.89.8
    ws. 64.70.19.33
But I agree that these domains are now out of luck, given that browsers no longer even remotely support them.


I see that the Vatican has given up. Long ago, http://va/ was it. No other name under va existed. Netscape Navigator was able to navigate to that part of the net.

It really did make sense for such a tiny place.
