OpenNIC facts for kids
OpenNIC is like a special club for the internet. It uses a different way to find websites, called an alternative DNS. This means people using OpenNIC can visit more websites than they usually can on the regular internet. The cool thing is, you can still visit all the regular websites too!
On OpenNIC, you can even get your own website name for free. This is different from the regular internet, where you usually have to pay for a website name.
What are Top Level Domains?
When you visit a website, you often see its name end with things like ".com", ".org", or ".net". These endings are called Top Level Domains or TLDs. They help organize the internet.
OpenNIC lets its users find and use even more types of website endings. This means you can explore a wider variety of websites that aren't always available through the regular internet's TLDs. It's like having access to secret parts of the internet!
