About CETNIC
The Ceticilian Network Information Centre (CETNIC) is the sovereign steward of the Ceticilian namespace, operating the technical registry and authoritative root zones for the .cet and .cet.is top-level domains.
The Ceticilian Charter
Our governance, operational principles, and responsibilities are defined by the Ceticilian Branch Charter. This Charter establishes the Registry as an instrument of civic sovereignty, enshrining the rights of registrants and the duties of the Society.
The WCAAN Root
The Willing Citizens' Authority for Assigned Names (WCAAN) operates an alternate, sovereign DNS root system. This "Suprastructure" allows for true digital self-determination, independent of commercial or foreign control. CETNIC maintains the authoritative zones for this root, ensuring a stable and resilient naming system for our community.
Our TLDs
.cet
The primary top-level domain for the Ceticilian sovereign zone. These domains exist natively within the WCAAN root and are accessible via our own recursive resolvers or peered networks. They represent the core of our internal digital commons.
.cet.is
A globally accessible proxy domain. .cet.is is a standard ICANN-delegated domain that
mirrors our internal namespace to the wider internet. This ensures that Ceticilian services remain
reachable to the outside world while maintaining our sovereign identity.
Services
We provide more than just registration. Through our integrated WCAAN Portal, willing citizens can manage their digital presence with ease.
- Domain Registration: Secure your identity in the .cet namespace.
