.ni is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Nicaragua.
[edit] Second level domains
Registrations are at the third level beneath several second level names. There are also a handful of sites directly at the second level, including the registry site itself at nic.ni.
- .gob.ni: Nicaraguan government
- .com.ni: Commercial entities
- .edu.ni: Educational institutions
- .org.ni: Non-governmental organizations
- .nom.ni: Personal domains of individuals
- .net.ni: Networks
[edit] Trivia
For political reasons, .ni is also occasionally used by sites based in Northern Ireland, rather than the United Kingdom's official ccTLD, .uk. The .co.ni subdomain was created for this purpose.
