.ax is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Finnish autonomous province of Åland . It was introduced on June 21, 2006 after the abbreviation AX was included in ISO 3166-1 by the International Organization for Standardization almost two years earlier . Previously, Åland websites could be found at .aland.fi .

As of September 6, 2016, anyone can register a .ax domain. However, the top-level domain is comparatively insignificant internationally, in September 2006 there were only about 400 registered domains for the 26,200 inhabitants of the archipelago . In addition, .ax is currently only supported by a few web hosts .
