There is a an internet specified method for giving addresses. I think
for the US it has now been take over by the US Postal Service.

My address at idea-processing.com is virtually hosted to:

dcn.davis.ca.us

dcn being Davis Community Network
davis being the city
ca being california
us being United States of America

I don't know if other countries have a similiar scheme...
