.gent General FAQ
The city of Ghent, located in the Flemish region of Belgium has announced its intentions for .gent. Resul Tapmaz, Councilor responsible for Personnel, Data Processing, Administrative Simplification and Quality Management for the City of Ghent, expresses his views, "Ghent is a city where ICT and creativity go hand in hand. You just have to think of those many Belgian Internet companies that have been incorporated here. The .gent extension is an essential tool, not only for our local companies and shopkeepers but also for our own departments. Our volition is to encourage our municipal departments actively to promote the dot gent domain. I'm thinking for example of www.city.gent, www.tourism.gent or www.smak.gent (municipal contemporary arts museum) or of the inhabitants' e-mail addresses, of the resul@tapmaz.gent variety. The possibilities are endless since every conceivable combination in front of "dot gent" is available."
Local businesses and residents in the city of Ghent will benefit from .gent by being able to instantly connect to their city with the .gent ending. Ghent restaurants, night clubs, coffee shops, popular events, touring companies and shops can take advantage of obtaining a short and memorable .gent domain which will help increase traffic to websites and improve search engine rankings.
