.vi is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Registration is available in .vi or one of its second-level TLDs. Current prices are $75 for registration for residents of the U.S. Virgin Islands and $300 for foreign registrants. The second-level TLDs cost $75 or $200 respectively. There are premium domain names with different prices. Renewal fees are significantly lower and there is also a price for most contact or nameserver updates.^[1]

The only restriction for registration is that the domain has at least 2 active nameservers.^[2]

Third level registrations are available in .co.vi, .org.vi, .com.vi and .net.vi.^[1] There are no further restrictions in these zones.^[2]

Domains can be bought directly from the registry or from official registrars. The registry does not publish a list of official registrars.

A domain transfer between registrars is possible via Auth-Code.

Second level domains (of more than 2 characters) were only allowed for Virgin Island companies or residents until 2014, when COBEX allowed foreign entities to register .vi domains.^[1]
