.vi is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the U.S. Virgin Islands.
[edit] Second-level domains
Second level domains (of more than 2 characters) are allowed, but only for Virgin Island companies. Third level domains are less restricted.
Third level registrations are available in .co.vi, .org.vi, .com.vi, .net.vi, and .k12.vi.
The biz.vi domain is not an official hierarchy; it is merely a standard domain like any other and is used for a free URL redirection service.
