Why .sc?
What should you know about .sc?
The official domain ending for the Seychelles, an archipelago of around 100 islands with a population of 95,000, .sc is open well beyond the country's borders to any businesses, organizations, or individuals. Until recently, .sc was not as open, so it's still easy to find the domain you want an register it. The .sc domain ending is also a great alternative to traditional domain endings like .com or .net, allowing you to differentiate yourself.
A .sc domain name is open to the world
The opening up of .sc outside of the Seychelles has meant that it's now used by professionals around the world in diverse business sectors: it's perfect, then, for those looking for higher visibility. This domain ending is also frequently used by sites with a scientific orientation, "sc" being an abbreviation for "sciences." Laboratories, scientific institutes, healthcare workers, and chemical manufacturers can all use a .sc domain name to promote their activities.
