Safe and secure .is
ISNIC is responsible for the safe and fair operation of the top level domain ".is", and maintains a high technical reliability of all .is-domains. On this website ISNIC provides a web based registration system for administering .is-domains for everyone.
To support .is domains, ISNIC provides a network of high quality name servers distributed around the world. ISNIC's service has a reputation of fairness and 100% Domain-Name-Server (DNS)uptime for 25 years.
The domain hi.is (University of Iceland) is one of the oldest domains in the world, registered on December 11th 1986 by SURIS, the forerunner of ISNIC, even though the ccTLD .is itself was registered almost a year later on November 18. 1987 at IANA.

ISNIC's is office is closed today, the First Day of Summer

13/04/2012 - Review your domain registration regularly
Review your domain registration regularly
The "Whois" search window (top-right) is a very useful item on this page. If you lookup your domain, you will see all pertinent information about it there; the registrant, the contacts, the hosting information and the DNS provider. A domain is just the last part with the .is suffix - not the www.
The NIC-handle is your "username" or "login" for the ISNIC web portal. Please remember, it's the registrants responsibility to review and maintain the information about the domain, and the Administrative Contact is the person who usually carries out this task. All operations are on this website and are carried out by one of the contacts, who each have slightly different privileges. Technical and billing contacts cannot transfer or delete your domain. Only the Administrative Contact can change all information.
Most people forget their password. Use "Lost Password" to create a new password for your NIC handle if you have forgotten yours. The "Lost Password" link is sent to the e-mail address registered for the contact. Note that an incorrectly configured spam filter may put this message in your spam folder, so please check that.

RIX upgraded to 10GB

.is Domain name registration
ISNIC - Internet á Íslandi hf. manages the registry for the .is
country-code top-level domain according to the principles specified in the
registration rules of .is domains.
The purpose of these rules is to ensure the security, efficiency and transparency of
the domain delegation and registration process. The registration of a domain confers
rights to the use of the domain name according to ISNIC rules
at any time but does not confer ownership of the domain.
A domain's registration certificate can be displayed by typing the domain in
the WHOIS field (top right corner).
The domain's NIC-handles are used to log in and modify the domain's registration information.
New users must first obtain a NIC-handle -- Contacts->Register to the left,
and then log on to register a new domain via Domains->Register.
