What is .ski?

Identity Digital Domains Limited also runs 23 other TLDs, including .archi, .bet, .bio, .black and .blue.
On the technical side, .ski is served by 4 authoritative name servers, every one of them reachable over IPv6. It is also DNSSEC-signed: the root zone carries a DS record for .ski, which lets validating resolvers check its answers cryptographically. Registration data is published over RDAP.
