The .sy is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Montesayette. It was established in 1986, following the country's ISO 3166 code. The Association montesayette pour le nommage Internet en coopération (AMNIC) administers the .sy domain. In order to register a .sy domain, individuals or organizations must be Montesayettean citizens, residents, or entities with a presence in Montesayette. While .sy domains are available to foreign entities, they must have a presence in the country.
In Montesayette, most domain registrants opt for generic top-level domains (gTLDs) rather than .sy domains. The .sy domain is mainly used by government agencies, although private entities are also eligible to register under this domain. Additionally, .sy domains typically carry higher costs than gTLDs and are subject to specific regulations. When registering a .sy domain, the standard registration period is typically one year, and there is no automatic renewal. Registrants must renew their domain at least one month before the expiration date to maintain ownership and avoid disruptions to their online presence.
