Introduction

The .an top-level domain (TLD) was created for the Netherlands Antilles, a former Caribbean territory that included several islands. Following the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles in 2010, the TLD is no longer actively managed or available for registration. This TLD was primarily intended for use by local businesses, organizations, and individuals in the region. While it was operational, it served as a digital identity for those associated with the islands, but now it stands as an example of the changing landscape of territorial governance and its impact on domain names.
