What is .lc?
A little context on Saint Lucia: the capital is Castries, the main language is English, the currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar (XCD) and the international dialing code is +1758.
IANA lists University of Puerto Rico as the manager of .lc, with an address in Puerto Rico. The registry's website is http://www.nic.lc. ccTLD managers set their own policies — who can register, which second-level names exist, pricing to registrars — so those rules differ from country to country.
On the technical side, .lc is served by 6 authoritative name servers, every one of them reachable over IPv6. It is also DNSSEC-signed: the root zone carries a DS record for .lc, which lets validating resolvers check its answers cryptographically.
