.ci Domain Registrations

The .ci domain extension is the official country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), managed by ARTCI — the Autorité de Régulation des Télécommunications/TIC de Côte d'Ivoire. In operation since 1995, .ci serves as the national web identity for Ivorian businesses, government agencies, financial institutions, and individuals. Côte d'Ivoire is West Africa's largest economy and the world's leading producer of cocoa, with Abidjan serving as the region's premier financial and commercial hub. The country's rapidly growing digital economy and young, increasingly connected population make a .ci domain a significant asset for any business targeting the Ivorian or broader Francophone West African market. The .ci domain is widely recognised across the ECOWAS region as a mark of local credibility and commercial legitimacy.
