Registrations for .cy domain names are limited to Cyprus residents and registered companies/organizations. .com.cy is unrestricted to Cypriot entities, though there are various restrictions for other .cy subdomains. .ac.cy, for example, is for academic and research institutions; .net.cy is for internet and network service providers; .gov.cy is for governmental institutions; and so on.[2]
In 2006, in cooperation with JCC in Cyprus, an electronic payments system was introduced. In 2008, in conjunction with the Euro as the new currency of Cyprus, a decrease on registration fees for .cy domains was introduced.[1]
