Register domain name .si

.si
The .si domain is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Slovenia. According to IANA Root Zone records, .si has been listed since April 1, 1992 and is supported by official WHOIS and RDAP services (useful for checking domain status and registry data).
The national registry for .si operates via Register.si under the auspices of ARNES.

What is .si domain?
A .si domain is a national domain zone used to represent a strong connection to Slovenia — for local businesses, organizations, projects, or any website that wants a clear country association. From an SEO perspective, Google explicitly lists ccTLDs as a strong signal that a website targets a specific country audience.

.si domain peculiar traits
The .si registry publishes clear technical rules for domain names (length, valid characters, and hyphen restrictions). A domain can’t be shorter than 2 or longer than 63 characters, cannot start/end with a hyphen, and has restrictions on double hyphens in certain positions.
The registry also supports IDN (internationalized domain names) — meaning you can use certain non-ASCII characters that are listed as allowed by the registry (e.g., Slovenian letters).
WHOIS privacy is handled at the registry level: if the domain holder is a natural person, the public WHOIS output discloses only the contact email for the holder.
Some names are explicitly reserved (for example, emergency numbers and certain government-related names).

.si domain usage advantages
Registering a .si domain can be useful if you need:

• Strong country association with Slovenia (branding + local trust).

• A short, clear domain for a Slovenia-focused project.

• Support for registry-defined IDN characters (when you need localized spelling).

• Transparent public domain status checks via WHOIS/RDAP.
