.so is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Somalia.
Somalia currently does not have a recognized central government; the operations of this domain had therefore been officially delegated to Monolith Innovation Group, a company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which is now defunct. There are therefore no *.so domains currently in active use.
As of 2008[update], the .so zone lists three non-functional name servers: ns1.granitecanyon.com does not have data for the .so domain, ns2.granitecanyon does not respond and mercury.ml.org only sporadically is able to resolve the nic.so site (as 209.68.0.85).
The webpage at the http://nic.so URL contained a short message stating that "As Somalia has no internationally recognized government, this domain is not currently used. We simply have parked this top level domain till an official government is impleented. If you are looking for information about Somalia, please visit Yahoo's Somalia category." As of July 2008[update], the nic.so site merely returns "This is a private server hosting the following domains: BASE.ORG, ML.ORG and DATTA.NET. These domains are in use and not for sale. -- admin at datta.net"
