It's a special address on the internet, just like your house has an address. This special internet address was first registered a long, long time ago, back in 1988.

The Internet's First Steps in Singapore!

Think about when you first learned to ride a bike. Singapore's internet address, .sg, also had a beginning! It was officially registered in September 1988.

This was a big step for Singapore to have its own special place on the World Wide Web. It's managed by a group called the Singapore Network Information Centre, who make sure everything runs smoothly, like a helpful teacher making sure everyone gets their turn.

Who Takes Care of the .sg Address?

Keeping the .sg internet address organized is important! A special team called the Singapore Network Information Centre (or NIC for short) is in charge. They make sure that when people want to create a website with a .sg address, they can do it easily.
