.ari is the Internet TLD for the Peopleâs Democratic Social Republic of Ariddia. As the first level domain is free for Ariddian nationals, it is customary for personal websites to register simply under the .ari domain.
For the purpose of legislation in this field, citizens of West Ariddia are considered by the Ariddian government to be Ariddian nationals, and may register with .ari for free. As the West Ariddian .swa TLD is not free, many pro-PDSRA West Ariddians have .ari websites, much to the annoyance of the West Ariddian authorities.
The best-known .ari website is undoubtedly pina.ari, the website of Public International News Ariddia.

List of major Second Level Domains
gouv.ari | Any government website |
---|---|
edu.ari | Used mainly by universities |
net.ari | Free for any to use |
org.ari | Any non-government organisation or association |
cmt.ari | Any local community |
Note that the â.com.ariâ domain does not exist. Any private citizen may use either â.ariâ or â.net.ariâ indiscriminately. The domains ".cmt.ari" and ".org.ari" are sometimes used interchangeably, although the former is intended for community projects and websites at the level of a village, small town or city district, or a work community on a local level. The ".cmt.ari" domain is therefore intended to reflect Ariddia's communist society.
E-mail providers
Every Ariddian is entitled to an ...@eehele.ari e-mail address, provided by the government. eâehele is a Wymgani word, loosely translated as "important message sent to a person or persons outside one's own community"; it can also signify a messenger.
Any community, group or organisation may also create its own e-mail provider.
Ariddian dependent territoriesâ TLDs
Ariddia holds sovereignty or governance over a number of dependencies, each of which has its own TLD, used solely in combination with .ari. These are:
Territory | TLD |
Ariddian Antarctica | .ara.ari |
Ariddian Arctic Islands | .aai.ari |
ESAT | .eat.ari |
Eshyosha | .ehy.ari |
Gnatanamo | .gnt.ari / .gnt.ut |
Notes:
- ESAT is officially a sovereign nation, but its TLD is linked to that of Ariddia. Only two websites use the .eat.ari TLD. They are esat-info.gouv.eat.ari, and esat_un_mission.gouv.eat.ari.
- The .ehy.ari domain, that of Eshyosha, is registered but not in use.
- Residents of Gnatanamo, a territory belong to Uhuh-Topia but governed by Ariddia, are free to use .ut (Uhuh-Topia), .ari, .gnt.ut, or .gnt.ari.
- West Ariddian citizens sympathetic to the PDSRA are requesting the creation of a .lim.ari domain, which would imply that Limea is part of Ariddia. At present, this domain does not yet exist.
- There has been some talk of registering a .ard domain, which would be common to all three Ariddian countries, but those talks are still in the early stages.
- The TLDs of Ariddiaâs dependent territories, and of ESAT, are used exclusively in combination with .ari. Hence, the domains .ara, .aai, .eat., .ehy and .gnt on their own are not registered by Ariddia nor any of its territories, and remain available for other nations to claim.
