.is is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Iceland. Foreign entities have to appoint a local representative in Iceland and may only register domain names that correspond to their word trademarks.
“.is” is derived from the English spelling of the first two letters of the country’s name in Icelandic, Ísland.
