Many thanks for your feedback on the .or.ug question, a definate yes and a definate no being the summary of these;) More seriously, your feedback will help us think through what strategy to pursue. Given that the .ug domain consistently ranks among our top sources of visitors, it does make much sense for us to have a local site.
Take care,
Dorothy

No.
The system (DNS) that does the maping of names <-> ip addresses does not really care where the ip address is located.
The only advantage (if there is such) of having a .ug domain name is that it probably makes it easier for people to guess the location of this particular organisation.. but other than that no. With all due respect I think you'll find it's cheaper to keep your current domain name, and just do a ug.yourdomain.whatever which just points to wherever you host your site.
my 2 cents, Patrick.
