Domain hacks that finish on .is
A .is domain hack is a web address that uses the Iceland country code to complete an everyday word right across the dot. Instead of stopping the name before the extension, you let ".is" spell the final two letters, so "axis" becomes ax.is, "thesis" becomes thes.is, and "this" becomes th.is. Because the reader's eye finishes the word automatically, these addresses are short, easy to say out loud, and simple to remember, which makes them strong picks for a brand, a product, or a personal site. Real .is hacks have shipped in the wild, including the URL shortener db.is and various startup pages built on the trick. The same idea powers famous hacks on other endings, like bit.ly and last.fm. If a word ends in "is", .is can turn it into a domain.

FAQ
What is a domain hack?
A domain hack is a domain name that spells a real word by reading across the dot, so the extension becomes the end of the word. With .is, the address db.is can read as part of a word and thes.is reads as thesis.
Are .is hacks good for branding?
Yes. They are short, memorable, and easy to say, so a name like ax.is or genes.is sticks in people's minds and is simple to share. The trick works best when the word is common and the reader finishes it without effort.
How do I check if a specific .is hack is available?
Type the full word into domainsearch.sh and it will show whether the matching .is domain is registered or open to claim. You can compare several candidates side by side in one search.
Is there anything special about the .is extension?
.is is the country code for Iceland, but it is sold widely and used for hacks around the world. Registration rules are friendly to individuals and companies outside Iceland, which is why it shows up in so many word-based domains.
