.kn domains list

What is .kn TLD

The .kn top‑level domain (ccTLD) represents Saint Kitts and Nevis, enabling entities to publish .kn websites and register .kn domains for locally identifiable presence. As a country code namespace, it signals geographic relevance in the Eastern Caribbean and is commonly used by government, tourism, and resident businesses, with occasional use by international actors serving the market. Registrations are typically available at the second level; legacy third‑level spaces may also be observed in historical datasets. We analyze nameserver patterns, hosting geography, and churn to assess resilience and usage quality across .kn domains and .kn websites. Our index benchmarks growth against regional peers and global medians to contextualize adoption and risk exposure. Explore webatla’s .kn domain datasets to compare activity and adoption.

History and key features of .kn TLD

The .kn TLD emerged in the early 1990s as the ISO‑3166 country code for Saint Kitts and Nevis, joining the global DNS alongside neighboring Caribbean namespaces. In practice, policies for .kn domains have aimed to balance local stewardship with internationally accessible registration, producing a compact but diverse set of .kn websites across commerce, public services, and travel. We track delegation changes, registrar concentration, and infrastructure dispersion to quantify dependency risks and detect lifecycle events such as rapid spikes or attrition. Historical baselines show low absolute volumes but stable renewal behavior relative to small‑economy peers. Our measurement methodology harmonizes zone snapshots, DNS telemetry, and WHOIS‑derived signals to create comparable time series. See longitudinal .kn zone data in webatla’s explorer.

Why and who choose the .kn domain

Organizations choose .kn domains primarily to signal ties to Saint Kitts and Nevis, to geotarget Caribbean audiences, or to manage brand footprints covering local operations. For domestic entities, .kn websites convey jurisdictional alignment and trust in public‑facing services, tourism booking, and community initiatives. International firms may register defensively, while media and NGOs adopt the ccTLD for regional campaigns or bilingual outreach. We evaluate registrant types, hosting locality, and security posture to map clusters and detect outliers within .kn domains and .kn websites, guiding risk assessment and portfolio decisions. Consider factors like audience intent, compliance, and resolver reach when selecting namespaces. Examine .kn registrant segments with webatla’s datasets.
