.sc Domain Name
A .sc domain name is a domain name representing Seychelles. The term “sc” is a
form of abbreviation for “Seychelles.” Using the .sc suffix indicates that your business or organization operates in the country of Seychelles, which is located in East Africa between Kenya and Madagascar.
Who can use a .sc domain name?
Anyone can use the .sc suffix to identify their business or website as being situated in Seychelles. It is not necessary to have a local presence or be registered in the country to register a .sc domain name. Any type of company, organization, individual–from legal entities to individuals–can register any number of .sc domain names.
Who regulates .sc Domain Name?
The Seychelles Country Code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) Registry, otherwise known as SGNIC, manages and regulates all .sc domain name registrations. The organization is the official registry for all web domains that end with “.sc”. S
Tips to choose ideal .sc Domain Name:
Consider your target market and business type when choosing your .sc domain name. If you plan to conduct business in Seychelles, make sure that your chosen .sc domain name represents your company or product according to native pronunciation guidelines.
In addition, you should choose a .sc domain name that is easy to remember, short in length and spelled correctly. Use keywords related to your business or organization, but avoid using the same exact words as other businesses. If there are too many variations of an existing domain name, you might find yourself struggling with web traffic.
Common Subdomains for .sc Domain
Some common subdomain options for a .sc domain name include:
.com.sc - This is the most common option and can be used globally.
.net.sc - This is another popular option that should be available to most businesses and organizations, but it is not as well-known globally as .com and .org options.
.org.sc - This domain extension is perfect for nonprofits and NGOs or other types of community-based organizations.
.gov.sc - This reflects a government presence and is a good choice for local governments, governmental agencies, or businesses that want to emphasize their relationship with the Seychelles government.
.edu.sc - This indicates a school or college presence in the country of Seychelles and can be used by educational institutions worldwide.
.ac.sc - This domain extension is used to identify colleges, schools, and other academic institutions around the world.
.cl/ac.sc - These two options are considered country-code second-level domains because they correspond directly with a second-level domain registered at a local registrar in a specific country or region.
.net.sc/ac.sc - This option is also technically a second-level domain because it does not match the SGNIC domain name registry.
What Documents Do You Need to Register .sc Domain Name?
When you register a .sc domain name, an officially certified copy of your business license or other legal documents is required. Applicants outside of Seychelles can provide either notarized copies or affidavits to prove their eligibility for registering domain names under the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) registry rules.
How Much Does .sc Domain Name Cost?
The standard cost to register a newly available .sc top-level domain (TLD) is the same as that for other TLDs: about $60 per year. However, some domain name registrars offer discounts for multiple years signed upfront. For better prices, it is wise to compare domain name registrars and search for the best deals available.
