Doctors, start your browsers. Physicians now have a great new opportunity to choose the domain name of their dreams.

John Harris, CEO of Domain Name Trust of Bonita Springs, Florida, has contracted with the ex-Soviet Union country of Muldovia to offer the .md top-level domain name. Dr. John Smith can now be john@smith.md. Marcus Welby can be marcus@marcuswelby.md. And h is three key staff members could be huey@marcuswelby.md, louie@marcuswelby.md, and dewey@marcuswelby.md.

There's only one small drawback--listings at the new service cost $295 per year.

Contrary to earlier news reports and widespread Internet rumors, these "dot-M-D" domain names are not limited to physicians. Harris explains that some subscribers to his service are from Maryland. Some are even from Muldovia itself.

In case you don't remember your grade-school geography, Muldovia sits between Ukraine and Romania, just north of the Black Sea.
