.as is the ccTLD for American Samoa. It is managed by the AS Domain Registry.[1], also called ASNIC in the official registry website.
Rules edit
.as is an unrestricted ccTLD.[2]
As an express condition and material inducement of the grant of a Registrant's request to register a domain name, the Registrant represents and warrants that:
- statements in the application are true and Registrant has the right to use the domain name as requested in the Registration Agreement;
- there is bona fide intention to use the domain name on a active basis on the Internet;
- the domain name is not intended for any unlawful purpose, including, without limitation, tortuous interference with contract or prospective business advantage, unfair competition, injuring the reputation of another, or for the purpose of confusing or misleading a person, whether natural or incorporated;
- the domain name is not intended for any purpose which may be offending to the values and morals of American Samoa, including, without limitation, pornographic or racist material. Registrant agrees that ASNIC shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine if a domain name is offensive.
- the use or registration of the domain name by Registrant does not interfere with or infringe the right of any third party in any jurisdiction with respect to trademark, service mark, trade name, company name or any other intellectual property right.[3]

AS Domain Registry began offering Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) support registration services on a "first-come, first-served" basis as of 1 March 2005. IDN character set support is limited to an additional 92 UTF-8 characters in the Latin script, which are detailed on the official website table.[4]
The domain character limit is three to sixty-three characters.[2]
