Developing country

A developing country, also called a less developed country or underdeveloped country, is a nation with a less developed industrial base, and a low Human Development Index (HDI) relative to other countries. On the other hand, since the late 1990s developing countries tended to demonstrate higher growth rates than the developed ones. There is no universal, agreed-upon criterion for what makes a country developing versus developed and which countries fit these two categories, although there are general reference points such as a nation's GDP per capita compared to other nations. Also, the general term less-developed country should not be confused with the specific least developed country.

There is criticism of the use of the term developing country. The term implies inferiority of a developing country or undeveloped country compared to a developed country, which many countries dislike. It assumes a desire to develop along the traditional Western model of economic development which a few countries, such as Cuba and Bhutan, choose not to follow. An alternative measurement that has been suggested is that of gross national happiness, measuring the actual satisfactied economies but lower GDP per capita than other developing nations are often categorized under the term newly industrialized countries.

History

Origins

Undeveloped was founded in 2014 by Reza Sardeha, Dominic Matheron, and Ali Sardeha. According to Sardeha, Undeveloped was founded as a consequence of the experiences of Matheron and the Sardehas in the domain trade. The founders' frustrations with the traditional domain marketplaces originated in a lack of transparency which they argue disempowers the buyer in the process of a domain acquisition. They further argue that the sellers previously were forced to limit their possibilities with the tools provided by traditional domain marketplaces. The vision of the founding was focussed on creating a more transparent domain marketplace which allows for buyers and sellers to directly connect through an open conversation. The business model of Undeveloped is intended to distinguish itself by not relying on advertisement on parking pages in order to make profit but rather only through a commission upon a successful sale of a domain name. The founders expect the difference of the Undeveloped business model to positively affect both buyers and sellers during the domain marketplace experience and process. The Sardehas and Matheron argue, that the Undeveloped domain marketplace aims to offer a more sales-oriented approach which allows for a pleasant experience for both buyers and sellers.
