Liechtenstein ccTLD
Register a .li domain
Register a .li domain — a real European ccTLD that most buyers pick for the letters, not the country. Liechtenstein is a microstate wedged between Switzerland and Austria, and its domain is jointly run with Switzerland's .ch by SWITCH. Despite the small country behind it, .li has become a go-to for word-hack branding — any name ending in "-li" — because registration is open worldwide, first-come first-served, with no residency requirement at all.
$22.80/yr
Renews at the same price. No tricks.
Privacy free
Who picks .li?
- Businesses or private banking/trust entities with a genuine legal or operational tie to Liechtenstein
- Startups and personal-brand builders chasing a short, clever domain hack ending in words like ...li
- Privacy-conscious registrants who want a stable, well-governed European ccTLD outside the more crowded .com space
What it signals
Two very different registrants land on .li: private banking and trust businesses with an actual legal presence in Liechtenstein — the country's specialty is low-tax corporate structuring — and, far more often now, brand builders chasing a short name that happens to end in "-li".
Pros
- No residency, citizenship, or local-presence requirement anywhere in the registration process
- The two-letter ending drops naturally onto the end of many English words, making it a favorite for domain hacks
- Tied to a real, stable European jurisdiction rather than a repurposed or obscure country code
- Run jointly by SWITCH, the same operator behind Switzerland's .ch — mature infrastructure, not an unproven backend
- Modusdom configures SPF/DKIM/DMARC email authentication at no extra charge, same as on every TLD we sell
Watch-outs
- Renewal pricing can run at a premium depending on registrar — this isn't the budget option in the ccTLD lineup
- No major global brand has anchored .li the way .io or .co have been claimed by tech, so it still reads as niche
- WHOIS privacy availability follows Liechtenstein's registry framework, which isn't guaranteed to match gTLD defaults

Common questions about .li domains
How much does a .li domain cost?
A .li domain is $22.80 per year at Modusdom, and it renews at the same $22.80 every year — no discounted first year that jumps later.
Does a .li domain renew at the same price?
Yes. Our renewal price equals our first-year price — written into our promises — so your .li stays $22.80/yr in year 1, year 2, and year 10. Most registrars advertise a cheap first year, then quietly renew higher.
Do I get free WHOIS privacy on a .li domain?
Yes — free WHOIS privacy is included on every .li domain, hiding your name, address, email and phone from the public WHOIS record at no extra cost.
Can I transfer an existing .li domain to Modusdom?
Yes. Transfers are free and add a year to your registration. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, copy the EPP/auth code, and start the transfer — we walk you through it, and your website and email keep working the whole time.
