.sv Domain Registrations

The .sv domain extension is the official country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for El Salvador, managed by SVNet in partnership with the University of El Salvador. In operation since 1994, .sv is the national web identity for Salvadoran businesses, government agencies, media organisations, and individuals. El Salvador is Central America's most densely populated country and one of its most economically active, with a large and influential diaspora — particularly in the United States — that maintains strong economic and digital ties to the home country. El Salvador made international headlines as the first country in the world to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, positioning itself as a pioneer in cryptocurrency and financial technology. San Salvador's growing startup scene and the government's digital agenda make .sv an increasingly important domain for tech-forward businesses. Open to all registrants worldwide.
