.fj

Overview

• .fj is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Fiji.
• It is administered by The University of the South Pacific (USP) IT Services.
• Intended for entities connected with Fiji; registrations are made at the third level beneath defined second-level domains (for example: example.com.fj).

History

• The .fj ccTLD was registered/introduced in 1992 (delegation data lists 3 June 1992).
• Some sources note an implementation date of 3 June 1996.
• The University of the South Pacific has managed the registry and DNS services; the registry maintains an online portal at https://domains.fj and is listed in IANA delegation records.

Usage and Audience

• Intended users are entities connected with Fiji (businesses, organizations, individuals, government and educational institutions).
• Common second-level domains and their intended audiences:
  • Reserved/restricted:
    • ac.fj — academic institutions (excluding primary and secondary schools)
    • school.fj — primary and secondary schools
    • gov.fj — Government of Fiji
    • mil.fj — Republic of Fiji Military Forces
  • No restrictions (typical uses):
    • biz.fj — business
    • com.fj — business/commercial
    • info.fj — informational websites
    • name.fj — individuals
    • net.fj — network providers/operators
    • org.fj — organizations (especially nonprofits)
    • pro.fj — certified professionals

Registration Rules

• Structure: registrations are not allowed directly at the second level; names are registered at the third level under the predefined second-level labels (e.g., example.com.fj).
• Restrictions:
  • Most subdomains have no restrictions, but certain second-level labels are reserved for specific types of entities (see "Usage and Audience" above).
  • Registration and use must not violate the laws of the Republic of Fiji or accepted Internet community norms.
  • The registry (USP) reserves the right to refuse or cancel registrations that are libelous, defamatory, harassing, threatening, abusive, inflammatory, indecent, lewd, vulgar, obscene, pornographic, or otherwise objectionable.
• Operational policy notes from the USP registration agreement:
  • Registrations are automated, but the registry may review and cancel inappropriate names after registration.
  • If a registration is canceled by the registry for being inappropriate, the registrant may register another name at no extra cost or receive a 75% refund (25% retained as administration fee).
• Dispute policy: the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP) applies.
