.is is Iceland’s country code extension, and its registry is operated by ISNIC. The extension can be freely registered from abroad.

As it is also an English verb, domain names can be created that read as complete sentences thanks to the extension, making them ideal for memorable brand names and campaign pages. The Icelandic registry is known for its stable and reliable operation.
