.LA is the geographic domain for the city and county of Los Angeles. Los Angeles has always been known by its initials LA, so the .LA domain is the perfect way to tell people where you are located right in the URL. A .LA domain name can open your website up to over 10 million people in Los Angeles County and over 16 million people in the Greater Los Angeles Area.

Los Angeles is flourishing with new businesses that are embracing the .LA domain for their website! From government entities such as schools, parks, and museums to the entertainment industry to small businesses, .LA offers a unique domain name that brands these websites as local to the LA area. It's also used worldwide by registrants connected to the "LA lifestyle" such as personal trainers, entertainers, cosmetic surgeons, and more.

.LA is also commonly used for clever domain hacks such as co.la and koa.la since there are many words that end in la. It can also be used as a custom short link, which is a great way to build a personal or business brand. Using a .LA domain as your custom short link will compliment your established website, and companies such as Mozilla have already claimed theirs: mzl.la. See our blog post about the benefits of a custom short link and how to get your own.

In addition to Los Angeles, .LA domain names are also a great option for anyone in Laos (.LA is actually the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) of Laos), Latin America, and the state of Louisiana in the US. And, according to Urban Dictionary (and some of our awesome customers), if you're in Liverpool the word "laa" means mate, buddy, or pal, making .LA a very desirable domain name there as well!
