.ac (second-level domain)

In today's world, .ac (second-level domain) has become a topical and relevant topic that impacts people of all ages and backgrounds. From its origins to the present, .ac (second-level domain) has generated great interest and debate in society, influencing the way people interact, think and develop. In this article, we will explore the various aspects related to .ac (second-level domain), from its impact on daily life to its influence on the professional field. Through a detailed analysis, we will learn how .ac (second-level domain) has transcended borders and left a significant mark in history and the present.

The sequence .ac (short for academia) is in use in many countries as a second-level domain for academic institutions such as universities, colleges, and research institutes. In the United Kingdom and Japan, for example, academic institutions use domain names ending in .ac.uk and .ac.jp respectively.

Many countries use .edu for the same purpose, such as Australia (.edu.au) and Malaysia (.edu.my). Still others do not maintain a second-level domain specifically for academic institutions. In France, Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands, for example, each institution will have its own second-level domain (thus sorbonne.fr for the Sorbonne, hslu.ch for the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts and tum.de for the Technical University of Munich).

In some countries, both .edu and .ac second-level domains exist, differentiating between different types of academic institutions. China, for example, announced in 2006 that it would use .edu.cn for educational institutions and .ac.cn for research institutions.
