Quite interesting that it uses a .be domain. 
Belgium has 3 languages, dutch, french and german.
Yeah but it looks like that forum is specifically for Dutch speakers in the Netherlands. I would have expected it to use a .nl domain. Anyway, just thought it was weird.
Only @Zorinhendrik can answer why it uses .be and not .nl.
My guess, cheaper

Because I'm a domains guy (that's why I noticed it in the first place 
) I just looked it up. .nl seems slightly cheaper than .be, at least on GoDaddy pricing. Hmmmm.
Hello dear readers, I would like to clarify this.
Right at the beginning (in 2013) I created this forum for Dutch-speaking users of Zorin OS in Belgium.
Before that I had Vimexx as hosting with a .be domain.
Then a depression made me look for someone to temporarily take over the forum as admin and that was Abraham, a Dutchman. I myself am a Belgian (speaking Flemish) and so two domains were created for one and the same forum.
Anyone who is Dutch can use this address on the internet: https://zorin-nl-forum.nl and a Belgian can use this address: https://zorin-os-forum.be.
I will continue to use this so that every Dutch-speaking (both Belgian and Dutch) member can continue to use the forum.
The cost is small, I have a Vimexx hosting (Maximum) and I have 14 websites on it and more are coming.
I pay about 8€ per year for the renewal of one domain and 188€ for the renewal of my hosting each time for a year.
Now I have two domains for the same forum.
You might be thinking to yourself "why not mention on the forum that there is only one link to the forum?"
Well, for the simple reason that some members have only been on the forum once and then not again until they look for a topic a year later and can no longer access the forum because of a wrong address.
Now the two addresses remain valid.
