Domain hacks and vanity usage

Many Long Island organizations and companies have adopted the .li TLD as a domain hack.

As -li is a diminutive ending in Swiss German (Standard German -lein), many Swiss companies register an additional, or alternative, .li domain for their businesses and services.

In Russian, -li is a verbal ending of past tense plural form. That is why some Russian-oriented sites use it as a part of the site name with the verbal stem before the dot.

Li is also a Romanization of the second most common Chinese surname. Some people with this last name register .li domains for personal use.
