.pw domain extension

.pw is the country code top level domain for Palau, a Pacific island nation. It is sponsored by the Micronesia Investment and Development Corporation. Originally delegated in 1997, the domain was redelegated in 2003. While it started as a ccTLD for Palau, .pw is marketed globally with few restrictions. Registrants do not need a local presence in Palau. The registry operator is PW Registry Corporation, with technical backend services provided by Radix Technologies. There are no strict eligibility rules beyond standard domain registration requirements. This openness has made .pw a popular choice for personal websites and email services, often used as an abbreviation for "professional web" or "personal web." The ccTLD continues to serve Palau's digital identity while offering an accessible domain option worldwide.
