.ls Registration

The country code top level domain (ccTLD) for Lesotho is .ls. The .ls domain extension, introduced by Leo (PTY) LTD in 1993, is mainly for the use of individuals and organizations associated with Lesotho. The National University of Lesotho is the sponsoring organization and the technical contact is provided by the Rhodes University Computing Centre.

The registry, Leo (PTY) LTD, and the National University of Lesotho are responsible for all the operations including allocation of IP addresses, managing domain names, operating the domain naming system, and so forth. The official website for .ls domain registration is http://www.co.ls. The .ls domain name helps to develop your business presence in Lesotho and take your business to an international level.

The Leo (PTY) LTD offers .ls domain names with a registration fee of $250.00 for a two-year contract. The .ls domain also allows sub domain registration. The .co.ls and .org.ls are the second level sub domains recognized by Leo (PTY) LTD. Registrations at the third level are mostly beneath .co.ls and .org.ls. Some other domain names are available for the exclusive use of the Lesotho Government and the National University. One can request for multiple domains without any restrictions.

When choosing a .ls domain name, keep in mind that the name should not exceed 30 characters and it cannot begin or end with a hyphen. Additionally, the names being registered should not be used for any unlawful purposes or violate any rules set forth by the registrar. After successful registration, you will get a notification in your billing email address. Your domain name will be active within 24 hours of the notification.

The .ls domain names can also be registered online through many other websites such as http://www.combell.com, http://www.z-names.com, http://www.101domain.com, http://www.101domain.com and so forth. The .ls registration gives a unique identity to Lesotho websites.
