About the .LS domain

What is the .LS domain?

.ls is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) of Lesotho, registered with IANA on January 13, 1993, and managed by the Lesotho Network Information Centre (LSNIC), based in Maseru, following a transfer documented by IANA in 2018, with administrative and technical support from the Lesotho Communications Authority.

Registration is available to both individuals and companies, local or international, with no need for local presence, business registration, or VAT number. Registration periods range from 1 to 3 years, with typical processing of up to 24 hours. Additional subdomains exist, such as .co.ls, .net.ls, .org.ls, .ac.ls, and .sc.ls, though .ac.ls and .gov.ls may require additional documentation. A feature favorable to registrants: the late renewal window is 30 days, with an additional restoration window of up to 60 days after expiration, more generous than many other ccTLDs.
