Domain hacks

Domain hacks for the .si TLD are quite popular, since si is second person singular of the verb to be in the Slovene language. As such, many domains have been created that are using such domain hacks, one of the most popular being zadovoljna.si ("You are pleased", female form).

Sí also translates from Spanish as yes, so the TLD has been used by some Spanish-language websites. A notable example of this is the Mexican political party MORENA, whose website is found at morena.si.

Pepsi uses the URL shortening pep.si.

Risk

According to research by McAfee performed in 2010, the Slovenian TLD is the tenth most secure.[4]

gollark: If the government throws piles of money at free education, you would, presumably, eventually get the majority of people going through university or something. Which would be nice, if it did not also cost a vast amount of money. And at the same time you dilute... whatever the degree is supposed to represent... and I don't really know what happens.
gollark: But that university has basically no incentive to have reasonable prices.
gollark: I said "many", not "all".
gollark: The government throwing money at it will not make that better.
gollark: In many cases you just need to have *a degree* of some sort, even if it's completely pointless, because it shows... that you have the patience to do a thing for 4 years or something??
