.is (dot is) is the top-level domain for Iceland. The country code is derived from the first two letters of Ísland, which is the Icelandic word for Iceland. Registration of .is domains is open to all people and companies without any special restriction.
The first .is domain, hi.is, is the domain of Script error: No such module "Lang". (University of Iceland). It was registered on December 11, 1986, making it one of the earliest ever domain registrations on the Internet.[1] The domain is managed by ISNIC, a private corporation.[2]
According to the McAfee report "Mapping the Mal Web," .is was evaluated as one of the top 10 most secure TLDs in the world in the years 2007 and 2008.[3] As of May 2024[update]Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"., there were just over 91,000 .is domains registered.
As of October 2016[update]Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"., .is domains can be registered for up to five years.[4]
Domain suspensions
In April 2013, ISNIC briefly hosted The Pirate Bay's domain ThePirateBay.is.[5][6]
In 2014, ISNIC suspended two domains which hosted material produced by the Islamic State, including Khilafah.is.[7][6]
In September 2017, ISNIC briefly hosted American neo-Nazi domain dailystormer.is, which had been removed by several domain Registries around the world. It was pulled from its .is domain after its publisher did not fulfill the standard procedure of disclosing his address.[8]
In September 2022, ISNIC suspended the .is domain for Kiwi Farms, a controversial internet trolling and harassment forum.[9]
