'.ao' is the
Internet country code top-level domain (
ccTLD) for
Angola. It is administered by the
college of
engineering of the
University of Agostinho Neto.
The registry Web site, as of
2006, has not been modified since
2002, and consists of a single page in
Portuguese. One of the few links on the page is to a document in
Microsoft Word format, in
English, which gives registration rules for the domain which may not be up-to-date; they state that registration by entities outside Angola is to be done only in the '.it.ao' subdomain (but a
Google search shows no active sites in that subdomain), and also say that registrations are only taken at the third level (when a
Google search shows some sites exist at second-level '.ao' names).
Second level domains
★ '.ed.ao' - Educational institutions. (Seated in Angola.)
★ '.gv.ao' - Governmental institutions. (Seated in Angola.)
★ '.og.ao' - Any other organisations (Seated in Angola.)
★ '.co.ao' - Commercial institutions (Seated in Angola.)
★ '.pb.ao' - Publishing (Seated in Angola. Not used?)
★ '.it.ao' - International institutions (Outside Angola. Not used?)
