2009 - A good year
The ISNIC Team is very proud and thankful for 2009. It has been the best in our 20 years. We simplified and reduced the registration fee, accepted payment in Euros, we did not increase the annual fee, and still maintained a good financial result for the company.
The .is domain holders are of course the primary reason for this success. On average they registered 19.4 domain each day, for a total of 7,084 new domains. This is the greatest increase in .is domains ever. The number of 'active' domains at the end of the year increased 25%.
We wish you a happy new year and our best wishes for 2010.

Domain registration
ISNIC - Internet á Íslandi hf. manages the registry for the .is
country-code top-level domain according to the priciples 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 processes. 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 optain a NIC-handle -- Contacts->Register to the left,
and then log on to register a new domain via Domains->Register.
