'''.pw - The Professional Web''' is the re-launched [[registry]] for the [[ccTLD#Open ccTLD|Open ccTLD]] for Palau, [[.pw]]. The Professional Web is a subsidiary of [[Directi]], which operates prominent registrars, hosting, and development companies, and is also an applicant for 30 [[New gTLD Program|new gTLDs]]. Despite these applications, the launching of the now-open ccTLD represents the Directi group's first active [[registry]] operation. The official launch of the [[TLD]] is [[ICANN 45]] in Toronto, with a [[Sunrise Period| sunrise period]] beginning in December, 2012.

The .pw ccTLD was delegated to the Pacific island nation of Palau in 1997. It has been redelegated a number of times, and [[Directi]] obtained exclusive rights over the .pw - The Professional Web in 2004 from [[EnCirca]], the [[registrar]] that originally launched the eponymous acronym. Prior plans for the ccTLD were to create a bundled social media and messaging product, though that project did not come to fruition, and so the ccTLD has seen little registration and is consequently now open for wide growth
