Check .lt domain
Aiming to reduce the problem of lisping online, the Internet Service Centre DOMREG at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) announces the campaign encouraging to register IDN (Internationalized Domain Names).
Digital marketing training took place at Klaipėda Science and Technology Park. Its participants learned to create and supervise websites and e-shops, learned about the registration of .lt domain names and the possibilities of support for small and medium-sized businesses provided by Klaipėda City Municipality.
The scope of cyber incidents and theft online continues growing each year due to the lack of security habits online and insufficient use of security technologies, notes expert Patrick Jones from the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).
Estonians have almost twice the amount of the internet names per thousand citizens in comparison to Latvians and almost one and a half times more than Lithuanians. Estonians surpass Lithuanians and Latvians according to the number of national .lt, .lv and .ee domains per thousand citizens.
Professor of Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) Stanislovas Masiokas notices that the increasing use of the English language and incorrect spelling when people avoid the use of the specific Lithuanian letters online has become a widely spread fashion that may have a negative effect on the Lithuanian language.
Even though Internet names, emails and text messages can be written with Lithuanian characters, a large part of Lithuanians do not use the correct spelling online. According to the data of the Internet Service Centre DOMREG at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU), only 2 000 or just 1% of almost 200 000 registered .lt domains are the domain names with specific Lithuanian letters.
