.li is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Liechtenstein. It was created in 1993. The domain is sponsored and administered by the Fachhochschule Liechtenstein (University of Applied Sciences of Liechtenstein) in Vaduz, but domain names with the extension can also be registered with SWITCH, administrator of Switzerland's .ch ccTLD. There are no requirements to apply for the extension. Registrations of internationalized domain names have been accepted since March 2004.^[1]

Long Island Usage

Many Long Island, New York organizations and companies have adopted the .li TLD as a domain hack.^[2]

Swiss Usage

Also, in addition to being right next door to Liechtenstein geographically, "li" on the end of a noun in Swiss German is commonly used as a diminutive. This is widespread, and even shows up in family names, such as the well-known chocolate manufacturer "Spruengli" (or "Sprüngli"), now a part of Lindt.
