.sj
country-code
.sj is the country code top level domain for Svalbard and Jan Mayen, two remote Norwegian territories in the Arctic. The domain is managed by Norid A/S, the same organization that runs Norway's .no ccTLD. Unlike most country code domains, .sj is not open for general registration. Norid has kept it reserved for official and administrative use only, with no public registrations ever accepted. This policy helps protect the identity of these territories and avoids commercial exploitation. The domain was registered in the IANA root zone on August 21, 1997. Norid also operates the .bv domain for Bouvet Island under similar restrictions. Both domains remain largely unused by design, serving as placeholders for potential future needs.
