.mn is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Mongolia. It is administered by Datacom. The domain name is composed of the consonants in the first syllable of the country name.
Some second-level domains are reserved for special use, such as:
- .gov.mn – government institutions
- .edu.mn – educational institutions
- .org.mn – non-profit organisations
The U.S. state of Minnesota also makes limited use of the domain, such as mapping www.leg.state.mn.us, the site for the Minnesota State Legislature, to www.leg.mn with a CNAME record.
The registry doesn’t generally require specific second-level domains. As of 2006, the registry doesn’t yet support Internationalized domain names.
The .mn domain name is becoming more popular in Minnesota, but it still is not widely recognized. The .MN domain in Minnesota is used primarily as a ‘clever’ domain name like vita.mn (a play on vitamin), or for location specific sites like apartments.mn.
