.lk is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Sri Lanka. Foreign companies who do not have a local presence can only reserve their top-level and corresponding open second-level domains (either through the LK Domain Registry or agents). In order to register and use a name they must have a contact address in Sri Lanka (which may be obtained through an agent or law firm).
Second-level domains
Registrations are taken at the second level and also at the third level beneath various categorised second level names. A second-level registration automatically blocks the name from registration by anybody else under any of the third-level names.
These second-level names are available for registrations within them:
Restricted registration:
.gov.lk: Governmental departments of Sri Lanka (automatically reserves name at second level and under all other second level names)
.ac.lk: Research and higher education institutions in Sri Lanka
.sch.lk: Registered schools in Sri Lanka
.net.lk: Licensed internet service providers in Sri Lanka
.int.lk: International treaty organisations
Open registration:
.com.lk: Commercial entities
.org.lk: Noncommercial organisations
.edu.lk: Educational sites
.ngo.lk: Non-governmental organisations
.soc.lk: Registered societies
.web.lk: Web sites
.ltd.lk: Limited liability companies
.assn.lk: Associations
.grp.lk: Groups of companies
.hotel.lk: Hotels
