Websites using the .yu domain extension will cease to be available online from 30 September, 2009. Created in 1989, the .yu domain extension was assigned to the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia , which has since broken up.

But there is some good news to those more than 4000 website owners, who still haven’t managed to relocate their site to a new domain – the The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (Icann) is considering Serbian National Register of Internet Domain Names request to postpone the deleting for several more months.

So we might see .yu after all!
