What is a .cy domain?

.cy is the country code domain extension (ccTLD) for Cyprus, the island country in the Eastern Mediterranean. Although Cyprus has extensive cultural ties to Greece, it is not under Greek control. Cyprus has a great deal to offer businesses including a strategic location, a highly skilled workforce, and a strong consumer market. It is also a tourist hotspot thanks to its Roman ruins, Byzantine castles and, of course, long stretches of white-sand beach.
