Trump rebrand propels Slovenias .si domain registrations — Arabian Post
What happened
Register.si, Slovenia's national domain registry, recorded 46,066 new .si domain registrations in September, a sharp increase from 3,515 in August. The number of .si registrations more than doubled on a daily average after the US executive order directing the use of "Super Intelligence" and "SI" in official correspondence. The registry has seen unusually heavy demand, with over 12,000 new domains registered in a 24-hour period.
Why it matters
The surge in .si domain registrations is notable due to the potential economic implications for Slovenia, although the registry has cautioned against assuming a significant windfall. The increased demand for .si domains may lead to speculative activity, potentially creating disputes or defensive-registration costs for established brands. The situation gives Slovenia a unique parallel with Anguilla, which experienced a surge in .ai domain registrations.
