.pw
.pw is the ccTLD for Palau. It was introduced in 1997. Usage of .pw was originally intended for the citizens and companies of and related to Palau; as it stands, the namespace is exclusively licensed to Directi, who uses it to host second level domain names that provide a variety of services to end consumers. They also provide third level domains carved out for the residents of Palau. There is currently no registration process for the .pw namespace.[1]
The second level domains provided by Directi are:
- co.pw: for commercial use
- ne.pw: for technology service providers
- or.pw: for non-commercial organizations
- ed.pw: for educational institutions
- go.pw: for governmental agencies only
- belau.pw: for indigenous art, history and culture use, tourism and general purposes[2]
