The .LAT domain extension is a country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) that represents the Latin American and Hispanic community.
It is not specific to any one country but rather encompasses the broader cultural and linguistic heritage of Spanish and Portuguese-speaking Latin American countries.
The domain extension aims to serve individuals, organizations, businesses, and communities that are connected to or have an interest in Latin American culture, language, and heritage.
The history of the .LAT domain's origins
The .LAT domain extension was officially launched in 2015, following a series of consultations and negotiations regarding its creation and purpose.
The registry that manages .LAT, NIC Mexico, proposed the domain extension as a way to provide a dedicated space on the internet for the Latin American and Hispanic communities worldwide.
The extension was established to foster cultural and linguistic identity and support the region's growth in the digital space.
