.yt domain extension

.yt is the country code top level domain for Mayotte, a French overseas department in the Indian Ocean. It is managed by the Association Française pour le Nommage Internet en Coopération (AFNIC), the same organization that runs .fr and several other French overseas TLDs. Registration is open to anyone, with no specific local presence requirements. The domain was delegated in November 1997 and has been operated by AFNIC since then. While Mayotte is a small territory, .yt has found some niche use for URL shorteners and creative domain hacks due to its short, memorable string.
