About .as
The .as domain is the country code for American Samoa, a U.S. territory in the South Pacific. It is managed by the AS Domain Registry, based in Pago Pago. Registration is open to anyone, with no residency restrictions. Many people use .as for domain hacks, treating the letters as a verb or abbreviation. The TLD was registered in June 1997. The registry operates its own WHOIS and RDAP services at nic.as. While the domain is tied to American Samoa, it has gained popularity outside the territory for its short, catchy suffix. There is no formal restriction on who can register a .as name, making it accessible for global use.
History
American Samoa received its .as delegation on June 12, 1997. The domain has been stable under the local registry since then. There are no major historical disputes or policy shifts recorded for this TLD.
Eligibility & restrictions
None. Open to all registrants worldwide.
