NIC.IO - The .IO Domain Registry

NIC.IO is the official registry and Network Information Centre for the .io country-code top-level domain (ccTLD). Originally assigned to the British Indian Ocean Territory, the .io extension has evolved into one of the most popular domains for technology companies and startups worldwide, valued for its resemblance to "I/O" (input/output) in computing.

Services

Domain registration on a first-come, first-served basis
WHOIS lookup services
No residency requirements (unlike many ccTLDs)
Global accessibility with DNS infrastructure worldwide

History & Ownership

The registry has operated since 1997 and is headquartered in Orpington, United Kingdom. The SOA contact references Afilias, a major domain registry services provider now part of Identity Digital (formed from the merger of Donuts and Afilias). Registrar services are powered by Name.com.

The .io domain has become a staple in startup culture, offering shorter and more memorable alternatives to traditional extensions like .com.
