.is (dot is) is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Iceland. The very first .is domain, hi.is, the domain of University of Iceland, was registered on December 11. 1986. .Is registration is open to all without any special restriction. The country code is derived from the first two letters of Ísland, the Icelandic word for Iceland. According to McAfee report "Mapping the Mal Web", .is has been evaluated as one of the top 10 most secure TLD's in the world in year 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010.[1] As of November 2011 there were only about 36,000 registered .is domains.[2]

Domain hacks

Several .is domain hacks exist. Examples are who.is, th.is, this.is, pen.is, she.is, he.is, time.is, and hellomyname.is [3].
