.do
country-code
.do is the country code top-level domain for the Dominican Republic. It is managed by Pontificia Universidad Catolica Madre y Maestra, based in Santo Domingo. Registration is open to anyone, but there are specific subdomains with different rules. For example, .com.do is for commercial entities, .org.do for organizations, and .edu.do for educational institutions. The registry requires a local administrative contact for some categories. The domain was registered on August 25, 1991, making it one of the older country code TLDs. The technical infrastructure includes multiple name servers, some hosted locally and others at the University of Oregon. The WHOIS server is whois.nic.do, and registration services are available through nic.do.
Eligibility and restrictions
Registration is open generally, but certain subdomains like .edu.do and .gov.do have eligibility requirements tied to Dominican institutions.
