Somali Network Information Centre (SONIC) is the registry operator for Somalia's .so ccTLD,[1] which maintains the database of names registered in the .so country code Top Level Domain.
SONIC is responsible for the administration of the domain namespace for the country code of Somalia (.so), which serves the .so national resource in the public interest of Somalia and global internet communities.[2]
After a long absence, the .so domain was officially relaunched on November 1, 2010, by .SO Registry, which is regulated by the nation's Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. It was launched through various accredited registrars around the world.
On March 9, 2018, SONIC began being regulated by Somalia's newly established telecom regulator, The National Communications Authority (NCA).[3]
