What is a .ac domain?
The .ac domain is the country code for Ascension Island, a tiny British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic. But its real popularity comes from a different association: "ac" maps neatly to "academic" in the minds of universities and research institutions, much like .edu does in the US. Open registration means anyone can grab one, and the short two-letter format makes it attractive for tech companies and startups too.
Who should register .ac?
Universities, research institutions, academic publishers, tech startups, and businesses with ties to British Overseas Territories.
Why choose .ac?
- Two letters with strong academic connotation
- Open registration with no residency rules
- British Overseas Territory heritage
- Short format popular with tech companies
