Why .as?

Where does .as come from?

The official top-level domain (also called a domain ending, or extension) of American Samoa, the South Pacific islands home to around 55,000 people, .as is used all over the world. It's one of the most easily accessible domain endings and by offering an economically accessible option that's easy to remember in a number of different languages, it allows you to avoid the overcrowding of more traditional domain endings like .com and .net.

A .as domain name is an asset for a variety of business types

Even though it was created to be the official, geographic domain for American Samoa, .as is only rarely associated with this territory. "Domain hack" enthusiasts have seized upon it in recent years, including .as as part of the name of the site rather than a simple suffix. This doesn't just work in English, but can also work in a variety of languages.

Build your online business with a .as domain name

On a global scale, most internet users will have no difficulty memorizing .as and using it to expand their online communications. With the expansion of .as domain names in recent years, .as is now known as a reliable option that keeps users' data secure.
