.lc is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Saint Lucia, sponsored by the University of Puerto Rico and created on September 3, 1991.[1] The registry is operated by Afilias and markets towards companies structured as LCs, LLCs or PLCs due to the possibility of a domain hack, such as CompanyName.L.LC (companyname.l.lc uses the open SLD l.lc) and supposedly better names.[2][failed verification][3]
Second and third level domains
[edit]Registrations take place directly at the second level or at one of the following third level domains. There are a number of registrars, but .gov.lc and .edu.lc can only be registered at the NIC.[4]
- .co.lc
- .com.lc
- .org.lc (local non-profit organizations get this domain free of charge)
- .net.lc
- .l.lc (domain hack for LLCs)
- .p.lc (domain hack for PLCs)
- .gov.lc (restricted to government departments, agencies, ministries, etc.)
- .edu.lc (restricted to educational institutions)
Rules
[edit]All domains must be between 1 and 63 characters long, excluding the TLD. In addition, domains may not contain anything other than letters, numbers, and a hyphen. .lc does not support internationalized domain names, and domain names may not start or end with a hyphen. Domain names considered offensive by the registry may not be registered.[4][5]
