.np domain extension

.np is the country code top-level domain for Nepal. It is managed by Mercantile Communications Pvt. Ltd., based in Kathmandu. The domain is open to individuals and organizations with a connection to Nepal, though specific eligibility rules are set by the registry. Registration is handled through authorized registrars, and the domain is widely used by Nepali businesses, nonprofits, and government entities. The .np namespace was delegated on January 25, 1995, making it one of the earlier country code domains in South Asia.
