Somalia's ccTLD repositioned as the 'social' TLD.

.so was issued for Somalia and reopened to global registration in 2010. The 'so' suffix works well in conjunction-style brand names (notion.so, super.so) and as a short two-letter ccTLD.

Pricing is reasonable and short names are still findable. Less colour than .io or .co but specifically appealing for product names where 'so' completes a phrase.

Best for

social products, two-letter brands, conjunction-style names.

Renewal price across registrars $25–$45 per year. First-year promotional pricing may differ.
