.ip is a pseudo-top-level domain which is used to indicate that the rest of the hostname is either an IP address or a masked IP address. The IRC server UnrealIRCD is one of the users of this pseudo-top-level domain.Fact|date=June 2008

As all alpha-2 codes are reserved for country code top-level domains corresponding to ISO 3166 country codes using .ip for other purposes appears to be unwise.
