Individuals
Unlike with businesses, the Asyhloan government does not maintain a public list of websites registered to individuals. Current unofficial estimates place the approximate number at about twenty to thirty sites. A few significant ones are listed here.
- asyhlobookreview.aao - One of the first sites to register a domain in 2004, this site reviews books that have been written or translated into Asyhloan.
- jain.aao - This small site registered to a Jainist leader on the island describes the general principles of Jainism; it has not been edited since it was first uploaded in 2005.
- metalgolopposition.aao - One of the most-visited websites registered to Asyhlo, this is an official website of the Metalgol opposition-in-exile. Run by a woman named Malea, it has news from Metalgolem and the Metalgol community in Asyhlo. The site is largely in Metalgol. The site was officially banned by the Metalgol government soon after it went online. In fact, most Asyhloan sites, including all government ones plus those for media, resorts and political parties are banned.
- pmace.aao - This is the official site of Asyhloan expatriates, mostly living in Pmace. It is the only (known) site registered to a non-resident, but it was granted permission since it is completely in Asyhloan. The site has extensive forum areas, and hosts blogs in Asyhloan from both residents and expatriates.
- robertalmeida.aao - Robert Almeida's personal website acts as the website for the Leitista party, although the party also has its own officially registered website (see .aao#Political Parties). It is thought that this is to get around Metalgolem's ban on Asyhloan political sites: the Leitistas are the only pro-Metalgolem party in Asyhlo AO.
- wewantourtrails.aao - This political pressure group demands that the government create trails through the National Park. The organization mostly consists of business leaders. In the 2004 elections, the organization endorsed the Duchy Party, since they consider the VCP and SPA to be "too green" whereas the Leitistas are "not green enough."
