Background

.pl is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Poland, officially known as the Republic of Poland, a country found in Central Europe. The .pl domain name was introduced in 1990 and it is operated and sponsored by NASK ('Naukowa I Akademicka Siec Komputerowa', or 'research and academic computer network'), a Polish research and development organisation and data networks operator.

The .pl domain name is highly popular in Poland, especially since there are no restrictions for registration. These registrations can be made directly at a second level, or at a third-level under one of several second-level domain labels, of which the best known are:

Other second-level labels are related to cities in Poland:

There are various rules determining what an applicant may have for a domain when registering under the .pl domain name. For starters, the domain name may only include Latin alphabet (a-z), digits (0-9) and hyphens (-). However, the hyphen cannot be placed at the beginning or at the end of a domain. Domains may have 63 characters, no more.
