The .la domain is an Open Use ccTLD, representing the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Laos). It was first marketed as a domain hack for businesses and news sites in the Los Angeles, California area in 2001.[1] In 2013, GoDaddy made a new marketing push for .la as a Los Angeles brand identifier, resulting in a small swell of interest.[2]
As of March 2021, the domain has approximately 175,000 active registrations.[3] Despite the "open" nature, some domains in use pertain to companies or institutions in Laos.[4]
