.pt

From Freepedia

.pt is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Portugal. It has the following second-level domains:

• .com.pt: no restrictions; online registration
• .edu.pt: education
• .gov.pt: Government of Portugal
• .int.pt: international organizations or diplomatic missions in Portugal
• .net.pt: telecommunications providers
• .nome.pt: individuals (nome is Portuguese for name)
• .org.pt: Non-profit organizations
• .publ.pt: publications (e.g. newspapers)

By July 1 2005 is possible to use special characters, like ç, é, õ, etc.

Apart for .gov.pt, Portuguese subdomains are quite uncommon, because many people have already registered under .pt when the new ones became available. Many companies, colleges and people still prefer to use a .pt because these are harder to get (the chance of getting a spam link is very low) and more simple to remember. There are also inconsistencies: for example, the website of the Ministério dos Negócios Estrangeiros (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) is not www.mne.gov.pt, but www.min-nestrangeiros.pt.
