'''.mn''' is the [[Internet]] [[country code]] [[top-level domain]] ([[ccTLD]]) for [[Mongolia]]. It is administered by [[.MN Registry, Datacom]]. The .MN registry is operated under the [[thick registry]] model. Administrative, Billing, Technical and Registrant contacts are required. The Redemption Grace Period (RGP) is available for .MN domains.<br />
<br />
The following [[second-level domain]]s registration for free to qualifying entities:<br />
* .gov.mn – government institutions<br />
* .edu.mn – educational institutions<br />
* .org.mn – non-profit organizations<br />
<br />
.MN Registry signed the .mn zone with [[DNSSEC]] on 18 November 2010.<br />
<br />
==Use outside Mongolia==<br />
<br />
The .mn domain name has been used to represent the U.S. state of [[Minnesota]], such as by the [[Minnesota Legislature]] (senate.mn and house.mn), but such use is not official in the state.<ref>{{Cite web |last=DomainNRG |title=StateFair.MN and DomainNRG Launch the “Most Minnesotan” Domain Name Competition |url=https://www.prweb.com/releases/statefair_mn_and_domainnrg_launch_the_most_minnesotan_domain_name_competition/prweb11051568.htm |access-date=2025-03-20 |website=www.prweb.com |language=en}}</ref> Technically, Minnesota is assigned .mn.us under the [[.us]] locality namespace.<br />
<br />
The .mn domain elsewhere outside Mongolia is used primarily as a [[domain hack]], for example vita.mn (a play on vitamin). Another example is cart.mn (a play on the ''[[South Park]]'' character [[Eric Cartman]], which redirects to www.southparkstudios.com, the official website of this animated series).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Trey and Matt talk about the New Kid - SOUTH PARK: SNOW DAY! - SOUTH PARK - South Park Studios |url=http://www.nickalive.net/2024/03/trey-and-matt-talk-about-new-kid-south.html |access-date=2025-03-20}}</ref><br />
