What are the registration requirements for .IS domains?

There are no requirements in buying .IS domains.

What does .IS stand for?

.IS refers to the official domain extension or the internet country code top level domain (ccTLD) of Iceland. The spelled out word for .IS is “Island” which is the Icelandic translation for Iceland. This domain extension was introduced in 1986 and was intended for entities connected with this country. University of Iceland was the first entity to use the IS-extension.

Interested applicants must know that ISNIC is the authorized unit for carrying out its registration while Marcaria is the most trusted registrar for .IS domains. In addition, IS internet extension has been consistently rated as one of the top 10 most secure ccTLDs in the world. Usage of this domain suffix for illicit content or illegal activities would lead to suspension.

Aside from being used as Iceland’s two-letter country code, “IS” is also used to abbreviate: industry standard (business), in service (business), integrated system (technology), image stabilization (photography), internet service (technology) and intermediate school (education). 

Why register a .IS domain?

Iceland is a favorite destination of tourists wanting to experience a place of contradictions. This island nation is the only country in the world where ice and fire co-exist in harmony. The entire land is covered by hot springs, dozens of active volcanoes and glaciers. Residents of Iceland expect volcanic eruptions at an average of twice per year. The economy is highly dependent on the fishing industry which account to almost half of the national revenues.

Iceland is also a target location for foreign investors since it is known for its innovative technologies, social and political stability and openness to international companies.  The local government has also spent billions for making the environment conducive for operating businesses and made the corporate tax substantially low.
