About .so

.so is the official country-code domain for Somalia, one of the ccTLDs delegated by IANA to a national registry across the African continent. As internet adoption across the region keeps growing, local-extension domains like .so are increasingly used to signal a genuine Somalia presence to customers, partners, and search engines alike.

Choosing a name for .so

If you're registering .so for a business or organization actually based in Somalia, keep the name closely aligned with your registered brand or trading name β€” that's the strongest use case for a ccTLD. For an international audience beyond Somalia, pairing .so with a .com version of the same name is common practice.
