.kn

.kn is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for St. Kitts and Nevis . It has existed since September 3, 1991 and was initially administered by the University of Puerto Rico .

history

The Ministry of Finance, Sustainable Development Information & Technology has been responsible for .kn since 2008 . The operational and technical operation of the top-level domain was taken over by the Taiwanese Network Information Center ( TWNIC ) after no locally based applicant was suitable.

properties

Registrations are carried out on both the second and third level. In addition to .kn, there is net.kn for Internet service providers , org.kn for non-profit organizations , edu.kn for educational institutions and gov.kn for the island's government. Despite the liberal award criteria, which do not require a residence or a local branch , .kn is comparatively insignificant internationally. The most expensive .kn domain transaction ever known concerned www.kn , which changed hands in 2007.
