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.

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).
