.ls
The .ls domain extension is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Kingdom of Lesotho, a small country enclaved within South Africa. Like other ccTLDs, it is intended primarily for entities connected with this country, whether individuals, organizations, or businesses. However, certain restrictions might apply to its use and registration based on the policies set by the administering authority. Despite being a ccTLD, it can sometimes be used by entities not directly related to Lesotho when their intended names or abbreviations coincide with 'ls'. It is overseen by the Lesotho Communications Authority.
