What is a .ST domain?

.ST is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) for São Tomé and Príncipe, an island nation off the west coast of Central Africa.

While it is a geographic domain, .ST is open for global registration and is sometimes used creatively for abbreviations like “street,” “state,” or “studio.”
