About the .PN domain
What is the .PN domain?
Despite being one of the smallest and most remote inhabited territories on the planet, .pn imposes no residency requirement at all: anyone in the world, individual or business, can register a domain, either directly at the second level (example.pn) or under the available third-level subdomains such as .co.pn, .org.pn or .net.pn. Names must be between 3 and 63 characters and the registry does not support internationalized domain names (IDN). Registrars wishing to offer .pn must sign Nominet's Registry-Registrar Agreement (RRA), the same contractual framework used for .uk.
