The .pt domain was delegated to Associação DNS.PT in 1988 and re-delegated under formal oversight by IANA in 2013. It has been continuously operated by DNS.PT since its inception, serving as Portugal’s official country-code domain. It was one of the earliest ccTLDs in Europe and has evolved to support IDNs and DNSSEC for enhanced usability and security.
