I'm still young on the net (2 months 2 years ago plus 1 week now).
With the questions that I have seen along the lines of "is foo on the net"
and with the questions that I will be getting from my net virgins users
here, I have a question my self to ask. 

Is there a database program/file which lists all of the netsites by
country, region, alphabetical? If there is how often is it published?
If a program/file does not exist yet, is there someone in netland that
will develope it so that when I get ask by my users "is company 'johnDoe'
on" the net I can access/look_in in order to find out if the company
is on the net along with the rest of the newsite announcement information.

I'm sorry if I'm asking a dumb question which get asked all of the time.
In none of the introduction documentation is this question answered that
I saw. I feel that if I as a news administrator if I had a netsite
database/file which I could look at to answer my questions I would be 
much happer.

I hope that this might be a new idea to the net. I'm looking forward
to any and all answers. Please no major flames.

					Thanks
