.sz ccTLD
Eswatini
The .sz TLD is the country-code top-level domain for Eswatini, a landlocked country in Southern Africa. It was originally assigned under the name Swaziland, which is why the abbreviation 'sz' is used. The domain is managed by the Swaziland ISP Association (SISPA) on behalf of the University of Swaziland's Department of Computer Science. Registrations are restricted to entities with a legal presence in Eswatini and are only available under second-level domains such as .co.sz, .ac.sz, and .org.sz.
Registrants must have a legally registered organization within Eswatini, demonstrate a bona fide intention to use the domain regularly on the Internet, and ensure the domain does not infringe on third-party intellectual property or promote unlawful content.
