.an was the ccTLD for the former Netherlands Antilles. It was managed by the University of the Netherlands Antilles.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
In 1993, the University of the Netherlands Antilles successfully sought delegation of the .an top-level domain, representing the ISO 3166-1 code for the Netherlands Antilles.
On October 10, 2010, the Netherlands Antilles was officially dissolved. The dissolution brought the need to transition between the .an to new ccTLDs for the new territories. On December 15, 2010, the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency added three new entries to the ISO 3166-1 database: Curaçao with the code "CW", Sint Maarten (Dutch part) with the code "SX", and the BES islands with the code "BQ".[1]
.an became inactive on July 31, 2015.[2]
