.an is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Netherlands Antilles. It is administered by the University of the Netherlands Antilles. As the Netherlands Antilles are due to be abolished on December 15, 2008, the future of the .an top-level domain is uncertain. There are, however, over 800 domains registered under .an (directly or at third level), including google.com.an and youtube.com.an (both delegations to Google's nameservers), yahoo.com.an (delegated to Yahoo's nameservers but no A record for yahoo.com.an or www.yahoo.com.an), visa.com.an (delegation to ultradns.net's nameservers).
