.la - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (186 words)
The LA Names Corporation, based in Guernsey, has gained the rights to market.la registrations, and they use the registry services of Afilias and, formerly, the registrar services of DreamHost (a California-based Web hosting provider).
CentralNIC is based in the United Kingdom, while the.la domain is allocated to Laos, but the registrar site claims it to be the "official domain of the city of Los Angeles", a city that is known by the "L.A." initials.
As registrations are taken directly at the second level, and many English words end with -la, this presents an opportunity for domain hacks.

La Paz languished until the trans-peninsular highway was completed in 1973, and became the capital of the newly formed State of Baja California Sur the next year.
La Paz is arguably the ecotourism capital of Mexico.
