Why .sc?

What should you know about .sc?

The official domain ending for the Seychelles, an archipelago of around 100 islands with a population of 95,000, .sc is open well beyond the country's borders to any businesses, organizations, or individuals. Until recently, .sc was not as open, so it's still easy to find the domain you want an register it. The .sc domain ending is also a great alternative to traditional domain endings like .com or .net, allowing you to differentiate yourself.

A .sc domain name is open to the world

The opening up of .sc outside of the Seychelles has meant that it's now used by professionals around the world in diverse business sectors: it's perfect, then, for those looking for higher visibility. This domain ending is also frequently used by sites with a scientific orientation, "sc" being an abbreviation for "sciences." Laboratories, scientific institutes, healthcare workers, and chemical manufacturers can all use a .sc domain name to promote their activities.

Make your site a unique place with a .sc domain name

A majority of internet users in Western countries trust .sc domain names and will visit them without any special concern for their online security. The process for registering a domain name is simple, and you can register one for between one and ten years.
