.st domain extension

Dot ST is the country code TLD for Sao Tome and Principe, a small island nation off the west coast of Africa. It is managed by Tecnisys, a local company based in the capital. Registration is open to anyone worldwide with no specific residency or business restrictions. The TLD has been around since 1997, making it one of the older African ccTLDs. Over the years it has become somewhat popular for domain hacks because the letters ST can stand for many things, from street to state to various abbreviations. The registry operator has kept a relatively low profile, letting registrars handle most sales. There is no wild policy drama to report. It is a straightforward country code that works like most others but with a geographic connection to two tiny volcanic islands in the Gulf of Guinea.
