.pw is the country code top-level domain for the Republic of Palau.
The country code top-level domain .pw was delegated to the Pacific island nation of Palau in 1997.[1] It has since been redelegated a number of times. Directi, a group of technology businesses, obtained exclusive rights over .pw from EnCirca in 2004. From March 25, 2013, domains under the .pw TLD are available to the general public. Since then, it is sometimes marketed as a domain for professionals (professional web).
