.sl Domain Registrations

The .sl domain extension is the official country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Sierra Leone, managed by Sierratel — the national telecommunications authority. In operation since 1997, .sl serves Sierra Leonean businesses, government bodies, NGOs, and individuals as their national digital identity. Sierra Leone is a West African nation on the Atlantic coast, bordered by Guinea and Liberia, with Freetown as its vibrant capital. The country is rich in natural resources — particularly diamonds, gold, and rutile — and has a growing digital economy supported by an expanding mobile internet infrastructure. The .sl domain is open to all registrants worldwide with no restrictions, making it accessible to international organisations operating in Sierra Leone, development agencies, NGOs active in the region, and any brand seeking a distinctive two-letter domain with West African roots.
