.sb domains list

What is .sb TLD

The .sb top-level domain is the country-code namespace for the Solomon Islands, aligned with ISO 3166. It designates internet resources connected to the territory and its stakeholders, from public institutions to private operators. Depending on registry policy, .sb may allow direct second‑level registrations and structured third‑level spaces (such as com.sb or org.sb). For clarity, .sb domains function like any ccTLD: they route through authoritative DNS and appear in global search indices; .sb websites are content endpoints built on those labels. From our longitudinal measurements, we observe a modest zone size with hosting distributed both locally and in regional hubs, and a concentration among a small set of nameservers. These attributes inform risk, discoverability, and resilience assessments. Explore webatla’s .sb domain datasets.

History and key features of .sb TLD

Delegated under IANA procedures following the ISO assignment “SB,” the .sb TLD emerged as the Solomon Islands’ national namespace in the early internet expansion. Like many ccTLDs, its stewardship and eligibility rules have evolved, balancing local identity, technical stability, and international interoperability. Today, features commonly seen across ccTLDs—RDAP/WHOIS access and optional DNSSEC support—apply here, with possible local‑presence or category requirements for specific second‑level spaces. In practice, .sb domains exhibit low cybersquatting incidence relative to high‑volume zones but higher sensitivity to infrastructure centralization; .sb websites frequently host outside the islands, reflecting connectivity economics. Using passive DNS and registrar telemetry, we profile lifecycle signals—creation bursts, renewal horizons, and nameserver churn—to benchmark resilience and abuse exposure.

Why and who choose the .sb domain

Organizations choose .sb to signal geographic relevance to the Solomon Islands, meet policy expectations for official entities, or secure brand coverage in a targeted ccTLD. Government bodies, NGOs, tourism operators, fisheries, and local enterprises use .sb domains for regional trust cues; multinational firms adopt them for footprint alignment or defensive registrations. We also see creative use where “SB” matches internal abbreviations (e.g., small business), though suitability depends on policy and audience. For SEO, search engines geotarget many ccTLDs, so .sb websites may benefit when content and signals indicate Solomon Islands relevance; conversely, global hosting can affect latency and jurisdiction. Our analytics quantify hosting geography, registrar mix, and abuse baselines to inform portfolio strategy. Explore webatla’s .sb domain datasets today.
